FREE People Mover rides on Thanksgiving Day 11/22 courtesy of United Shore
November 13, 2018 – United Shore, one of Metro Detroit’s fastest-growing employers, is covering all costs for Detroit People Mover (DPM) riders from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 22), allowing downtown Detroit visitors to navigate the area for free as part of “Thanksgiving Free Fare Day”.
“United Shore has a lot to be thankful for and we’re happy to pay it forward by offering free rides on the Detroit People Mover this Thanksgiving,” said Mat Ishbia, President and CEO of United Shore. “We’re a family company, and this was an opportunity to extend our community goodwill beyond Oakland County and into downtown Detroit, where so many great family traditions take place on Thanksgiving Day.”
More than 1 million people are expected to travel downtown for the Parade which starts at 9 a.m., and the Detroit Lions football game against the Chicago Bears at 12:30 p.m. The closest DPM stations for the Thanksgiving Day Parade are Grand Circus Park, Broadway and Cadillac Center; these stations as well as the Greektown Station are within walking distance to Ford Field. Riders may board or exit from any of the 13 People Mover station stops.
The “Thanksgiving Free Fare Day” is part of a partnership between United Shore and DPM, as United Shore has also wrapped DPM trains with banner advertisements as part of a recruiting push. Messaging on the trains implores people to “Put your career on the right track” and directs them the United Shore website to explore career opportunities: unitedshore.com/beyouhere United Shore, parent company of the nation’s No. 1 wholesale mortgage lender and fifth-largest lender overall,
United Wholesale Mortgage, moved its headquarters from Troy to Pontiac in June, and is persistent in its community relations initiatives. The company recently rejected $1.9 million in tax incentives that it was eligible to receive from Oakland County as part of its relocation. In June, United Shore awarded free bicycles and helmets to every elementary student in the Pontiac School District that achieved perfect attendance for the 2017-18 school year.
“Over the last four years, Thanksgiving Free Fare Day on the People Mover has become a staple of Thanksgiving Day in downtown Detroit,” said Barbara Hansen, General Manager of the Detroit Transportation Corporation. “We’re thankful that United Shore has continued this tradition and are excited to bring area families together to enjoy the Thanksgiving Day festivities.”
DPM has coordinated with Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) the easy transfer to DDOT’s Eastside routes affected by parade traffic. Affected routes include #9 Jefferson,#52 Chene, #31 Mack, #67 Cadillac-Harper, #6 Gratiot and #5 Van Dyke. DDOT customers should board these routes at the People Mover’s Bricktown Station, located on Beaubien St., north of Larned (DDOT transfer or fare required). Eastside routes will resume service to the Rosa Parks Transit Center at 6 p.m.
Standard People Mover service will resume at 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 23. For more information on the People Mover, visit its official website at www.thepeoplemover.com.

FREE DSO Community Concerts - Detroit, Monroe, Waterford, Sterling Heights - 9/20, 9/22-9/23
For the eighth consecutive year, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) will perform four free community concerts to kick off its new season at venues across Metro Detroit, presented by DTE Energy Foundation. All four concerts will be conducted by Yaniv Segal and feature classical and pops favorites by Copland, Mozart, Rossini, and John Williams.
This year’s concerts will take place in:
• DETROIT on Thursday, September 20 at 10:45 a.m. at Greater Grace Temple
• WATERFORD on Thursday, September 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Waterford Kettering High School
• MONROE on Saturday, September 22 at 8 p.m. at Meyer Theater (on the campus of Monroe County Community College)
• STERLING HEIGHTS on Sunday, September 23 at 3 p.m. at Sterling Heights High School
“The DSO is dedicated to connecting with communities in and around Detroit throughout the year, and these free concerts that launch our season have become a great way to demonstrate that commitment” said DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. “We are grateful to the DTE Energy Foundation for this partnership that promotes and enables unique opportunities for accessibility and we deeply value our historic collaboration. As we make the tough choices around the annual selection of host venues, we invite others to join in this support so that more opportunities can be offered to the many areas of our city where we have yet to visit.”
For more than 50 years the DTE Energy Foundation, the philanthropic arm of DTE Energy, has supported the DSO and its cultural programs, and the Foundation is proud to once again help the Orchestra bring music to diverse communities throughout Southeast Michigan. In the spring of 2016, the DTE Energy Foundation awarded the DSO with a three-year grant to continue offering these free community concerts each fall. It also includes endowment support for music education, senior citizen outreach, and additional community engagement programming.
“The Community Concert Series is a partnership event that we look forward to sharing with our communities each year to bring local residents, youth, and families together and provide the opportunity to hear a world-class orchestra play in their own backyard,” said Lynette Dowler, president of the DTE Energy Foundation. “By partnering with the DSO, we’re hoping to inspire others to pursue culturally enriching experiences or careers that enhance their quality of life.”
While the concerts are free admission, a seat reservation is required for entry. Seats can be reserved now at dso.org or by clicking on the following links:
