AATA announces schedule changes

ANN ARBOR, MI – The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA) will implement the following transit service changes starting on Sunday, January 27, 2008:

Route 2 – Plymouth (change previously implemented)

To accommodate a change in the Greenhills school schedule, the afternoon trip which previously arrived at Greenhills at 2:52 p.m. now serves Glacier Hills, while the trip which used to arrive at Glacier Hills at 3:22 p.m. now serves Greenhills.

Route 12UM – Miller-University

To improve on-time performance, timepoints for the first two afternoon trips will change to earlier service, as follows: Michigan League, 2:28 and 3:00 p.m.; University Hospital, 2:34 and 3:06 p.m.; Miller and Newport, 2:44 and 2:52 p.m.; and the Miller Road Park & Ride Lot, 2:48 p.m.

Route 36 – Wolverine Tower Shuttle

New routing south of the State Street Commuter Lot will operate as follows:

Evening routing starting at Briarwood will take Briarwood Circle, Plaza Drive, Eisenhower Blvd., Boardwalk Drive, Oakbrook Drive and State Street, then resume its regular routing.

Maple Village Park & Ride Lot

Because AATA has been unable to reach an agreement with the management of Maple Village, Park & Ride service will no longer be available at that location. AATA encourages passengers to find alternatives such as the Miller Road Park & Ride Lot on Miller Road at M-14.

The AATA Board of Directors will be seeking public input in the near future on possible service reductions and additions proposed to take effect in late August.
