DETROIT – The Detroit People Mover (DPM) will suspend operations from Monday, Nov. 10, through Saturday, Nov. 22, to complete essential maintenance before winter.
The 10-day shutdown, which was announced on Thursday (Oct. 30), will allow crews to install a new track switch, a critical component for vehicle operations.

The project concludes a series of guideway assessments and upgrades that require the system to be closed for an extended period.
The Detroit Transportation Corporation (DTC) plans to resume People Mover service before Thanksgiving week.
On Sunday, Nov. 23, the system will operate with extended hours from 10 a.m. to midnight to accommodate events like the Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants game and the Jonas Brothers concert.
DTC is also continuing a grant-funded study of the system, gathering community and stakeholder feedback on operations, stations, and potential expansion to shape the future of the Detroit People Mover.
