Who’s glad it’s Friday in the D?!

Memorial Day weekend is on, Movement is here and Detroit’s vibe is in full effect...so DUMP THE PUMP and head downtown!

DDOT is proud to support improved service connecting Detroiters from neighborhoods across the city to downtown, local businesses, jobs, and one of Detroit’s signature cultural events, the 2026 Movement Electronic Music Festival.

From curb to culture, DDOT Keeps Detroit Moving!

***IT'S FRIDAY DETROIT!***
This week ends with a very productive conversation that brought together riders, transit advocates, and DDOT administrative staff at yesterday’s Hybrid Community Input Meeting.

We truly appreciate everyone who took the time to participate and share ideas and suggestions to help improve our service.

We rely on each other, and hearing directly from people who ride DDOT regularly helps us better serve those who depend on transit in Detroit.

Today, DDOT recognizes the teams helping connect our services to the people, neighborhoods, and communities we serve.

Our Marketing and Outreach teams help make sure residents know what DDOT offers, how to access service, and how transportation connects to opportunity across Detroit.

Through community events, partnerships, campaigns, and storytelling, these teams help bring DDOT closer to the community while sharing the programs, resources, and information that matter to riders.

Public transit is not just service. It is connection.
Thank you to the teams helping strengthen DDOT’s connection with Detroit.

DDOT Director Robert Cramer and a member of our executive team swapped four wheels for two today by participating in Bike to Work Day with Councilman Scott Benson and the directors of DPW and GSD. 🚴 Trying a greener commute through biking (or riding DDOT 😉🚌) moves us closer to a greener Detroit! ♻️🌱
