BUS US 12 is a business route running in Ypsilanti. It was first designated in 1962 as a business route of US 12 when US 12 replaced US 112.

In 1942, Ypsilanti is bypassed by a Bypass US 112 (BYP US 112). US 112 continues to run along its routing in Ypsilanti. In 1956, US 112 is rerouted along BYP US 112, and US 112 through downtown Ypsilanti becomes BUS US 112, and later BUS US 12.
