As the City of Ann Arbor prepares to update its Non-Motorized Transportation Plan this year (last done in 2007), it is time to not only see how much infrastructure we have built, but also how much our city's culture has changed. Here is a place to collect videos, photos, and news items that help to piece together all the wonderful things that make Ann Arbor's culture of non-motorized transportation unique and worth CELEBRATING! For more information on non-motorized transportation in Ann Arbor please visit www.a2gov.org/WalkBikeDrive and www.a2gov.org. If you are interested in submitting a photo to the blog, or to learn more about the blog please email kknapp@a2gov.org.

In this section of the trip, we ride from Central Campus around the South University area, and through the Burns Park neighborhood until we reach our final destination: Burns Park.

An Afternoon Commute from Downtown to South Campus 

Another way to Commute!

Commuting to school or work on Monday? Have you thought about taking part of your commute by bike?

Cycling from the Medical Campus/ Downtown to Gallup Park along Fuller Road takes you right over the Huron River as it enters the Arb - sure does beat the congestion on the road!

As you prepare to travel from work on this Friday afternoon try to imagine a different kind of commute…
