DDOT Shoemaker Facility in Detroit, MI has a rich history dating back to the post-World War II era when the Detroit Street Railway (DSR) transitioned to an all-bus operation by the early 1950s.

With a strategic focus on expanding its motor coach division, DDOT Shoemaker Facility played a pivotal role in the development of Detroit's public transportation system. As one of the city's first permanent transit facilities, it continues to serve as a vital hub for maintaining and servicing buses, reflecting the evolution of transportation infrastructure in Detroit.
