Detroit will receive $24.8 million to improve safety and accessibility at 56 high-crash intersections served by the city’s bus system, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.
The city has one of the highest traffic fatality rates in the country and the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) was the most sued city department due to injury from city buses and other issues between 2017 and 2022, according to a BridgeDetroit analysis. In the most expensive DDOT settlement a city bus failed to stop at a red light and hit a motorcyclist, causing a traumatic brain injury and the loss of the motorcyclist’s right hand.
