Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? the Qline and the People Mover”
“Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover” John B. Sutcliffe, Sarah Cipkar and Geoffrey Alchin Department of Political Science, University of Windsor Windsor, Ontario, N9B 3P4 Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for presentation at the Canadian Political Science Association Annual Conference, Vancouver, BC. June 2019. This is a working draft. Please do not cite without permission. 1 “Can Public Transit Revitalize Detroit? The QLine and the People Mover" Introduction On May 12, 2017 a new streetcar – the QLine – began operating in Detroit, running along a 3.3- mile (6.6-mile return) route on Woodward Avenue, one of the central north-south roads in the city. This project is one example of the return to prominence of streetcars in the (re)development of American cities. Having fallen into disuse and abandonment in hundreds of American cities during the early part of the 20th century, this form of public transit has returned in many cities including, for example, Dallas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Portland. As streetcar services have returned to prominence, so too has the debate about their utility as a form of public transit, the function they serve in a city, and who they serve (Brown 2013; Culver 2017). These debates are evident in the case of Detroit. Proponents of the QLine – most prominently the individuals and organizations that advocated for its creation and provided the majority of the start-up capital – have praised the streetcar for acting as a spur to development, for being a forward-thinking transit system and for acting as a first step towards a comprehensive regional transit system in Metro Detroit (see M-1 Rail 2018).

Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society!
1 WINTER 2018 Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society! At the Detroit Historical Society, 2017 has been a time of transformation. Three years of work on Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward came to fruition this year, and the efforts that went into it led us to adopt a new model for engaging the public in creating programming and exhibitions in our museums. Our work is stronger for it, as evidenced by positive reviews, awards and steady increases in visitor numbers driven by the Detroit 67: Perspectives exhibition. Most importantly, however, our organization changed from the inside out. Our model for engagement, Engage, Refect, Act (ERA), incorporates a three-step process for commencing work on new programs and exhibitions at our museums: engage the community, refect on what we learn and inspire visitors to action based on the relevance of history to today. We are committed to applying this model internally and externally as we work to tell Detroit’s stories and why they matter. That means that we are engaging the talents of our staff across departments to strengthen and streamline our work in the same way that we are engaging the public and other cultural institutions to inform upcoming programs and exhibits. In October, the Detroit Historical Society and our partners at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History were honored with the Michigan Museum Association’s 2017 Peninsulas Prize in recognition of our unique collaboration on the Detroit 67 project. This was wonderful evidence of the transformational power of the ERA model.

Detroit People Mover Lessons Learned from Transparent Data
Memorandum To: Roy Taylor, MDOT From: Ericka Alexander/Oliver Lindsay, DTC Date: June 19, 2019 RE: Lessons Learned from the Transparent Data Sets (Website Optimization) Project Background In 2014, the Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) received a $150,000 grant administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The purpose of the grant was to create a more user-friendly website and mobile phone application for the Detroit People Mover (DPM). Following the issue of the Request for Proposal, subsequent review and selection, the project began in 2017 and was completed December 1, 2018. This memorandum will provide an overview of the lessons learned during the grant period. Website Optimization Overview The original https://www.thepeoplemover.com website launched in December 2005 with one additional upgrade 10 years later. The grant supported the adaptive design of the website and mobile app, and development of backend code to launch on various platforms, devices and browsers. The grant enables the People Mover to have a digital platform on par with other, local public transportation systems and yet distinguish and integrate the People Mover’s unique operation. The hybrid design links the content management system (CMS) to both the website and app in downtown Detroit. Use of the Website and App • Announcements and general information regarding People Mover service and operations • Wayfinding and trip planning to increase access to close mobility options, downtown accessibility and long-term density 1 • Building last-mile / first-mile connectivity via links and information to other transit agencies • Ordering transit passes online by desktop or mobile phone • Submission of standardized forms and applications, such as employment, contractor permits and advertising.
