The Racks for Rides project is powered by the Hamtramck Downtown Development Authority, with generous funding provided by the Michigan Municipal League Foundation 2021 Bridge Builder Main Street program, and local business owners.

The DDA has invited Artists and Community Members from across Hamtramck, Detroit, and Highland Park to create designs for the City's bike racks along Joseph Campau street between Caniff and Holbrook. This public art project aligns with the city's master plan and the future ambitions of expanding the Joe Louis Greenway, which converges with Hamtramck.
