The Detroit Department of Transportation serves the city of Detroit in the American state of Michigan. It also serves several nearby suburbs, where service is coordinated with the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART). These include the enclaves of Hamtramck and Highland Park and the suburbs of Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Eastpointe, Ferndale, four of the Grosse Pointe communities, Harper Woods, Hazel Park, Lincoln Park, Livonia, Melvindale, Oak Park, Redford Township, Royal Oak Township, River Rouge, Southfield and Warren.

History

Prior to 1974 the system was known as the Detroit Street Railway. Please see the timeline links at the bottom of this article for full history.

Timeline of important events

This section is incomplete. You can help!

  • 1974 - At midnight on July 1, 1974, DDOT takes over as the main transit system in the city of Detroit.
  • 1975 - DDOT acquires it's first buses since the 1974 renaming, these were former City of Pontiac 30-foot GMC New Looks. This was followed by the first new bus purchases: 40-foot GMC New Looks and AM General Metropolitan Series buses.
  • 1976 - On September 20, DDOT introduces the Washington Boulevard Trolley, which used a fleet of six vintage narrow-gauge trolley cars, as part of a five-block-long revitalization project along Washington Boulevard.
  • 1985 - DDOT's first low-floor buses enter service, these are two Bus Industries of America Orion II buses.
  • 1988 - Major service cutbacks take place in September as a result of declining ridership and funding as a result of the city's population itself declining.
  • 1994 - The first attempt is made to merge with the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation, however, in the end, only several routes swapped agencies, who then retrieve them back after nearly a year.
  • 1995 - Around this time, DDOT begins to experience numerous bus shortages, driver shortages and cancelled trips, which plague the agency for twenty years afterwards.
  • 1998 - DDOT eliminates nearly all services outside the city of Detroit following another failed attempt to merge with SMART.
  • 2005 - DDOT breaks ground on the new Rosa Parks Transit Center in October. In the planning stage since at least 2001, it opens in late June 2009 and consolidates several terminus points scattered across the downtown area into one singular location.
  • 2007 - On April 21, DDOT eliminates all service to Belle Isle, ending nearly 100 years of transit service to the Detroit River island park.
  • 2008 - On June 16, DDOT launches five experimental express routes. All were later discontinued by DDOT on April 18, 2009.
  • 2009 - After another round of eliminations, the shortage and cancellation problems at DDOT worsen.
  • 2012 - On March 3, DDOT eliminates all 24-hour service as well as the last remaining vestiges of a once-expansive network of express routes operating on Detroit's freeway network.
  • 2014 - Mike Duggan takes a trip on Woodward Avenue one Monday in January and notices a large crowd waiting for a route 53 Woodward bus that is running two hours late. As a result, he fires the previous DDOT general manager and hires Dan Dirks to take over the position (he had previously served the same position at SMART). To alleviate the numerous cancellation and shortage problems, 80 New Flyer Industries Xcelsior buses are ordered and placed into service by 2015.
  • 2016 - DDOT service levels return to pre-2009 levels while the number of buses in service at peak hours reaches levels unseen since 1996, helped in part by the 80-bus order of the previous two years. On January 23, DDOT reintroduces 24-hour service on several major routes. On April 23, DDOT reintroduces Belle Isle service on a pilot basis. On September 3, DDOT relaunches express routes utilizing Detroit's freeway network, as well as direct routes to Eastern Market on Saturdays. In late December, the FTA lifts financial restrictions that had been placed on DDOT, citing service improvements.
  • 2017 - In January, a large fire at the Shoemaker Terminal destroys a small number of New Flyer Industries D40LF buses and results in the implementation of a policy in which drivers are now forbidden to idle buses at ends of their shifts, while ending another policy, dating back to the 1970's, where newly-delivered buses could not be used on weekends outside of rare situations. On September 4th, the Northland Center bus terminal closes permanently.
  • 2018 - On September 1, Detroit DOT implements the new ConnectTen network, resulting in the movement and renumbering of certain routes. The ConnectTen network features rebranded New Flyer Industries Xcelsior buses (into a new livery that has come to be known as the "rays livery" or the "Doublemint Gum livery") that add 500 trips per week with 15-minute peak hour frequency. These routes represent 60% of Detroit's riders, and number the routes between 1-10. In addition to simplified service, the ten routes operate 24-7.
  • 2019 - On May 1, DDOT and SMART streamline their fare systems, centered around a fare payment system called Dart, which includes 4-hour, 24-hour, 7-day and 31-day passes, each offering unlimited rides on both agencies, while the 31-day pass includes a tap-to-pay option that speeds up boarding.
  • 2023 - On April 24, DDOT unveils the DDOT Reimagined plan, which will see all routes have headways of 30 minutes or better on weekdays, six ConnectTen routes upgraded to pre-Bus Rapid Transit service, route adjustments and extensions to existing transit hubs and new destinations, and a new route (route 70) connecting Belle Isle to the Gordie Howe International Bridge via downtown Detroit.

Branding

Livery

At it's inception, DDOT inherited the final green-and-silver livery used by the DSR (DDOT logos were placed over DSR ones). In 1975, a DDOT-specific livery was introduced with the 1001-1148 series of buses. They were white with green and yellow stripes running along the sides before kicking up above the front door. The area around the windows was black. This livery was adapted from the one used on a 1973 New Look demonstrator that visited the DSR in May 1973.

The arrival of the their first RTS buses in 1978 introduced another livery. It was a green strip that widened as it was bisected by a yellow stripe. This style of livery was featured on General Motors' demonstrators, and was adapted for the colours of other transit agencies. During the 1980s bumpers on the RTS fleet were painted black.

In 1989, the 2000-2084 series came with a new livery that would become standard for over two decades. It featured a green stripe and a yellow stripe that crossed over each other at the front wheels and again at the rear wheels. Black skirting continued around the vehicle, but this would disappear beginning with the arrival of 3200-3232.

Beginning with the 1400-1430 series of buses in December 2014, the livery was again redesigned, this time taking visual cues from the original 1975 livery. The green and yellow stripes now kick up above the windows before turning back at the rear and fanning out towards the ground.

A new design debuted on August 28, 2018 with the 1800-1829 series, featuring white and gold rays against a mint green background emanating from a green silhouette of the Spirit of Detroit structure in front of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center in downtown Detroit. This has come to be known as the rays livery or the "Doublemint Gum" livery. It will be applied on all current and new buses throughout the next year.

DDOT logo from 2007-2017.
DDOT logo from 2017-2018.

The original DDOT logo was a stylized "dot" wordmark, with green connected "dt" letters and a yellow circle inside the "d." This logo is still used today, however, in 2007, it was updated with green and yellow stripes behind the lettering, the word "DETROIT" forming a half-circle above the "dot" wordmark and the words "DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION" below the stripe. This logo, however, didn't appear on vehicles until 1201-1242 in 2011. By 2017, however, this logo was relegated to secondary status and a completely redesigned logo was implemented, featuring the official city logo (a Spirit of Detroit silhouette in a pale green box in a larger dark green box with a sloped bottom and the words "CITY OF DETROIT" at the bottom) and a green rectangle containing the words "DETROIT Department of Transportation" (with "DETROIT" in smaller letters) to it's right. Both logos would be phased out on August 28, 2018, replaced with a new logo featuring two green letter "D"s next to a green period.
