The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT, pronounced "D-Dot") is the public transportation operator of city bus service in Detroit, Michigan. In existence since 1922, it has headquarters in the Midtown section of Detroit and is a municipal department of the city government. DDOT partners with the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART).

As the largest public transit agency in the state of Michigan, DDOT primarily serves the city of Detroit, with some additional and limited service to nearby cities of Dearborn, Hamtramck, Highland Park (both are Detroit enclaves), Harper Woods, Livonia, Redford Township, River Rouge and Southfield. DDOT has a fare and ride agreement with the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation as it supplements the city with bus service linking the city to the rest of Metro Detroit and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. Bus service generally operates between 5 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, while Sunday service starts approximately 7 a.m. and ends between 8 and 9 p.m. On Woodward Avenue (Route 53), Dexter Avenue (Route 16), Gratiot Avenue (Route 34), and Grand River Avenue (Route 21) bus service operates 24/7 service.
