Not SMART is a group of citizens organizing to reduce costs and return money to the pockets of Wayne County voters. For some municipalities, this effort is a message to the inefficient SMART system that we will not be pumping more money into their poorly-run program. And for others, this effort rejects the idea that our citizens should pay for a service that residents don’t want or need.

The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transit, or SMART, is the regional provider of fixed-line bus services in Wayne County outside of Detroit. Detroit has its own system called DDOT.  Since 1994, cities and townships in Wayne County have had the right to opt-out of the fixed-line service. But in 2024, the right of much of Wayne County to opt-out was removed by the State Legislature.
