The getDowntown program, housed in the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce, is committed to addressing parking and traffic problems by providing information and assistance to businesses and employees in the downtown Ann Arbor area.

getDowntown started in late 1999 to promote alternatives to single passenger commuting. getDowntown provides information on biking, parking and alternative fuel vehicles, carpooling and carsharing, The Ride, walking and telecommuting. getDowntown is a partnership between the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce, Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, the City of Ann Arbor, and the Downtown Development Authority.
