Ann Arbor Connector Feasibility Study
Getting from Here to There…Making the Connection
What is the Connector Feasibility Study?
The Ann Arbor Transportation Plan Update completed in May 2009 identified key transportation concepts to support future growth in the city. One concept was the need for a “connector” to link proposed commuter rail stations planned for the Detroit to Ann Arbor and the Ann Arbor to Howell commuter rail lines. Another concept involved potential “signature” transit corridors which would have high quality, high frequency transit service to enable higher density housing and employment concentrations. The Connector Feasibility Study is intended to link the “connector” and “signature” transit corridor concepts and evaluate the feasibility of advanced transit options for the city.
