Welcome to the Website for the Detroit Area's
Rapid Transit Study
 

The transportation study— known as the Detroit Transit Options for Growth (DTOG) Study — will identify and evaluate rapid transit options to improve access and mobility in the Detroit area. The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) is leading this effort along with assistance from local and national consulting firms.

This study is an early step in a formal process established by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for metropolitan areas who are seeking federal grants to plan, design and build rapid transit systems.

As the revitalization of the Detroit area progresses, the need for a viable rapid transit system that connects neighborhoods, businesses, major destinations and new development is becoming more and more evident.
