The Detroit Transportation Corporation is a Michigan public body corporate that owns and operates the Detroit People Mover, an automated guideway system in Detroit. It was funded and built as part of a federal demonstration project intended to revitalize older urban areas and to serve as a component of a regional transportation plan, acting as a feeder for five light rail lines. The system carries about 5,000 riders daily for routine travel, with events downtown increasing volumes to as many as 12,000 to 25,000 per day. The organization’s stated mission is to provide safe, reliable, efficient, and accessible light rail transportation that supports business development and residents’ quality of life in Detroit. It is based in Detroit, Michigan, and employs a mid-sized workforce to operate the service. In October 2023, the Detroit People Mover announced a partnership with Priority Waste, LLC to offer free fares all day to raise awareness about financial hardship and related forms of assistance.
