More Service,
More Often.

In August 2022, the voters of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township approved TheRide’s millage request to expand and improve transit service with the majority vote of 61%. Though approved in 2022, the new 5-year 2.38 mil property tax and services will not go into effect until August 2024.
