The Route for
Health
Public transportation is essential to the health of our community. Consistent, reliable service provides access to doctors, treatment centers, and pharmacies for those who need care, and encourages active habits to keep our community healthy.
I use [TheRide] to go to the Veteran’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, I use it to sell my Groundcover News, I use it to go to Kroger, I use it to go to University of Michigan Sporting events. I have a PCA on my card too, so, that helps a lot for people who sometimes come down here and don’t have any money.”

I also see [TheRide’s Long-Term Plan] in terms of sustainability; getting fewer cars on the road, reaching net-zero green emission, getting more people where they need to go in a happy way.
Kathleen M., AAATA Board Member
Public transportation is 10x safer than travel by car.
Two out of every three passengers walk to and from their bus stops.
Increased access to healthcare for our entire community without additional traffic congestion.
