ART-GO-ROUND

POWERED BY MAY MOBILITY

The Art-Go-Round provides shuttle service around the perimeter of the Ann Arbor Art Fair, moving fairgoers from one end of the fair to the other and allowing folks to shop the breadth of the 30 city blocks without having to walk back to their starting point. Hop on a shuttle at any of the six Art-Go-Round stops located around the exterior of the fair and identified below.

• FREE autonomous shuttle service

• Vehicles link all three fairs (see map below for stops)

• The Art-Go-Round powered by MAY’s A2GO service brings multiple Lexus RX 450h shuttles and one wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAMS) to the streets surrounding the Ann Arbor Art Fair.

• The shuttles operate using self-driving technology, but an Autonomous Vehicle Operator will always be in the driver’s seat to monitor the vehicle’s behavior and ensure safety for all on board.

• HOW TO USE:

  • Just line up at one of the six stops and hop on the next May Mobility vehicle that arrives!

• HOURS OF OPERATION:

  • Thursday & Friday | 9:30AM – 9:30PM

  • Saturday | 9:30AM – 8:30PM
