TheRide's FootballRide Shuttles to Begin August 31

TheRide will begin a new FootballRide shuttle season with the August 31 University of Michigan game against Central Michigan University.


The service will operate between many convenient hotel and parking sites and Michigan Stadium for seven home football games this fall.  Additional hotels will also be served indirectly at nearby pick-up sites.  Hotel parking may be limited to hotel patrons.

FootballRide runs approximately every 20 minutes starting two hours before game time with the last shuttles leaving 30 minutes before game time.  Return shuttles run for approximately one hour after each game.

FootballRide tickets are $1.50 each way for adults and may be purchased at most of the hotel sites, or in advance by mail or in person at TheRide’s main office at 2700 South Industrial Highway in Ann Arbor.  Riders are encouraged to purchase round-trip tickets, as drivers do not carry change. Reduced fares are available for those who qualify.
