AATA ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE FOR ART FAIR SHUTTLE SERVICE

Free parking for the shuttles is available near the Sears store at Briarwood Mall, located off State Street and Eisenhower Parkway, and at Pioneer High School, on Main Street near Stadium Boulevard.

AATA Art Fair Shuttles will run every 10 to 15 minutes from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, and on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Fares will be $1.50 each way; children seven years of age and younger ride free.

AATA will operate two separate shuttle routes from both the Briarwood and Pioneer High parking locations:

• The Main Street Shuttle route will drop off riders in downtown Ann Arbor at the shuttle bus stop located at Main and William Streets, adjacent to the Summer Art Fair.
• The South University Shuttle route will drop off passengers at the South University and State Street shuttle bus stop located between the South University Area Art Fair and the State Street Area Art Fair, and close to the original Street Art Fair, the University of Michigan central campus and the Michigan Union.

Art Fair shuttle buses return to both Briarwood and Pioneer High from each AATA shuttle stop.

AATA’s Art Fair Link buses will operate around the perimeter of the four fairs from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, and from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday. The Link will operate free of charge during the Art Fairs.

Brochures containing maps of the shuttle and Link routes, as well as Art Fair locations and other information will be distributed at the shuttle boarding locations and Art Fair information booths.

The AATA shuttle buses are wheelchair accessible, and strollers are allowed on the buses, but must be folded for passenger safety. AATA will only allow service animals on board the shuttle buses. For those passengers who have purchased artwork, the shuttles can handle reasonably sized packages, but riders should make other arrangements for oversized purchases.

Fairgoers may choose to use local AATA bus routes to visit the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. AATA bus stops are located within one quarter mile of 90 percent of homes in Ann Arbor. For information on using local bus routes to the fairs, call 734.996.0400.
