Downtown Detroit Transportation Study

In the urban core of our region, managing the transportation needs of residents, commuters, businesses, and tourism events is key to regional success. With the rapid development occurring in Downtown Detroit, effective coordination and collaboration of planning among various public and private agencies are essential to maximizing efficiency.

SEMCOG partnered with the City of Detroit and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to study all aspects of transportation in Downtown Detroit including traffic, parking, transit, biking, and walking. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the existing transportation conditions and develop a holistic strategy to manage future transportation demands.
