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 vehicle at any of the seven Art-Go-Round stops located around the exterior of the fair and identified below.
- FREE May Mobility autonomous vehicles or BMW SAV shuttle service
- Vehicles link all three fairs (see map below for stops)
- The Art-Go-Round powered by MAY’s A2GO service + Detroit Area BMW Centers brings multiple Autonomous Toyota Sienna’s [including one wheelchair-accessible vehicle -WAMS] + BMW SAV’s to the streets surrounding the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
- The MAY vehicles 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.
- BMW shuttle services will include access to the elegant X5, X7, and fully-electric iX’s — alongside knowledgeable brand ambassadors as your chauffeurs
HOW TO USE:
-
Just line up at one of the seven stops and hop on the next May Mobility or BMW vehicle that arrives! Each will have an Art-Go-Round logo on them to identify them as part of the shuttle service.
