Does the institution have incentives or programs to encourage employees to live close to campus?:
A brief description of the incentives or programs:
Active University of Michigan-Ann Arbor students, faculty and staff are able to ride AATA fixed-route bus service (external link) without paying a fare. This benefit is a result of a five-year agreement between U-M and AATA, valued at $1.8 million annually.
Under this contract, AATA permits all active U-M faculty, staff and students to ride on all of its regularly scheduled fixed-route buses at any time of day, any day of the week without paying a fare. U-M passengers simply will show a valid Mcard ID (yellow card) to access the AATA's Mride Program.
Free UM Bus Service is offered to commuters
Although not used by Ann Arbor residents, A2 Express Bus Service is offered at a subsidized rate to residents of nearby communities of Chelsea/Canton
