Free Shuttle Connects Uptown and Downtown on Saturdays
A free shuttle will run between uptown and downtown Grand Rapids every Saturday this summer from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Forget parking pains: a free, continuous shuttle will connect uptown and downtown on Saturdays this summer, running 4–11 p.m. Route details are still emerging, but it’s a no-cost way to hop between neighborhoods for dinner, drinks, and events.
This summer, a free shuttle will make it easier than ever to bounce between two of Grand Rapids’ most walkable districts. The service runs Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., looping continuously between uptown – think Eastown, Cherry Hill, and the Wealthy Street corridor – and downtown.
No more circling for a spot, feeding a meter, or choosing between a great new restaurant in uptown and a show downtown. The shuttle is designed to cut the parking headache and stitch the neighborhoods together for a seamless evening out. It’s a smart, low-friction way to support local businesses in both areas.

The city or a transit partner is expected to run the service, though detailed route maps and exact start and end dates aren’t public yet. We’ve got our ears to the ground for those specifics. For now, mark your Saturdays and keep an eye on transit updates – free wheels are coming for your summer plans.
