What is Park and Ride?

The Ride has a simple, easy, cheaper alternative to parking in downtown Ann Arbor - Park free all day at one of our Park & Ride lots and Ride the AATA bus downtown to work.

Park & Ride Lots Offer you:

• Direct service to downtown
• Convenient schedule for commuters
• Up to $1020 per year savings on parking permit

For more information on park and ride lots, locations and corresponding bus schedules, visit the AATA Park and Ride Website.

How does riding the bus affect the Ann Arbor environment?

AATA has been a pioneer among transit operators nationwide in pursuing cleaner air. From the late 1980s through 1995, AATA voluntarily converted its entire fleet to a "clean diesel" system using low-sulfur diesel fuel - years ahead of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency directives for federal emissions standards that require buses to meet low-sulfur levels by 2004.

In 2002, AATA became the first transit system in the Midwest to begin using ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel in all its buses. When coupled with new engine technology, AATA cut its emissions by as much as 90 percent.

In 2007, AATA began to convert its entire bus fleet to hybrid electric technology. The AATA fleet currently includes 27 hybrid electric buses. Hybrid electric buses reduce fuel consumption and AATA's dependence on foreign oil by more than 30% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The new technology reduces particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons by 90% and carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide by up to 50%.

As of August 2007, all AATA vehicles, including the hybrid electric buses, run on B-10 biodiesel. Biodiesel fuel reduces hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter. The overall ozone (smog) forming potential of hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from biodiesel is nearly 50% less than regular diesel fuel.
