Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation or SMART is the public transportation provider for Southeastern Michigan, including Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne Counties, which also includes the City of Detroit, as well as Monroe County and into the city of Toledo, Ohio through Lake Erie Transit (a joint operation with First Transit). It is the successor to SEMTA.
Within the City of Detroit, SMART coordinates the provision of transit services with the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), though all SMART routes serving the City except the FAST service serve the City during peak/rush hours on weekdays only, and services within the City (except FAST) are restricted in that trips into the City can only drop off passengers and trips out of the City can only pick up passengers.
History
Please see the timeline links at the bottom of this article for full history.
Timeline of important events
This section is incomplete. You can help! [1]
- 1989 - On January 17, the Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority becomes the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation. This was followed several months later by the acquisition of second-hand Grumman Flxible 870 buses.
- 1993 - On April 1, a standard $1.50 flat fare is implemented on weekdays, replacing the zone system inherited from SEMTA. It had already been implemented on weekends by SEMTA in 1988. It is later raised to $2.00 in 2010.
- 1994 - SMART's budget deficit reaches a point that unless solutions can be found, service may shut down in the near future. In June, SMART and DDOT attempt to merge five routes, but the project was cancelled in April 1995.
- 1995 - In order to eliminate debt, a local .33 property tax millage is placed on the ballot and successfully passes in all of Macomb County and portions of Wayne and Oakland to support operations of SMART. As of the most recent referendum in 2018, the current rate is 1.00 mil. SMART ultimately begins to turn away from a network centered on downtown Detroit to focus more on suburb-to-suburb connections surrounding Detroit.
- 1996 - SMART and DDOT establish a common regional bus pass but further attempts to merge services fail. SMART establishes the Community Partnership Program to support local transit in communities for seniors and people with disabilities.
- 1998 - SMART resumes several suburban routes eliminated by DDOT.
- 2001 - SMART receives it's first low-floor buses, a larger order of Gillig Low Floor buses that quickly replace all high-floor buses.
- 2002 - SMART millage is increased from .33 mil to .59 mil and successfully passes in all three counties.
- 2010 - SMART introduces diesel-electric hybrid and low-floor articulated buses to Metro Detroit, the two New Flyer Industries DE60LF buses were purchased using ARRA funds.
- 2011 - On November 1, SMART unveils three hybrid electric 40 foot Gillig BRT buses using ARRA Funds. The buses are painted in local university colors, which, along with the Gillig BRT model itself, then become standard on many new SMART orders. On December 12, SMART cuts service by 22% due lower property values reducing the revenue collected through the .59 millage.
- 2012 - Oakland County overwhelmingly passes the SMART millage with a 79% approval.
- 2014 - Lathrup Village becomes the first formerly-opt-out community to opt back into SMART's service area since 1996.
- 2016 - As SMART places a large order of new Gillig BRT vehicles into service, several terminal transfers occur with the older Gillig Low Floor fleet, a few permanently.
- 2017 - Terminal realignments continue with another large Gillig BRT order. On September 4th, the Northland Center bus terminal closes permanently.
- 2018 - FAST begins operations on New Year's Day, January 1, using a large fleet of Gillig BRTs reassigned from conventional services. A number of recently-retired older Gillig Low Floors are placed back into service due to a resulting conventional-service fleet shortage, mainly providing service on peak-hour runs.
- 2019 - On May 1, SMART and DDOT streamline their fare systems, centered around a fare payment system called Dart, which includes 4-hour, 24-hour, 7-day and 31-day passes, each offering unlimited rides on both agencies, while the 31-day pass includes a tap-to-pay option that speeds up boarding.
Website timeline
FAST
FAST, launched on January 1, 2018, is SMART's brand for bus rapid transit (BRT). The service primarily operates along Gratiot, Woodward and Michigan Avenues from downtown Detroit to Chesterfield Township, Pontiac and Detroit Metropolitan Airport respectively. For more information, refer to the FAST article.
Fares
Fares are paid using SPX Genfare Odyssey fareboxes. These were installed in February 2010, replacing older GFI Genfare CENTSaBILL fareboxes.
Current fares as of May 1, 2019:
Age Group | Fixed Route | Park & Ride | Connector |
---|---|---|---|
Youth (6-18 Years) | $1.00 | $1.50 | $4.00 |

Older Adults (65+ Years) | 50¢ | $1.00 | $1.00 |

Routes
See Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation routes for a full master list.
SMART routes use a system of three-digit route numbers, with the first digit corresponding to the area of Metro Detroit routes in that series serve, beginning with the lowest numbers Downriver and then increasing clockwise up to the 600 series routes along the Lake Saint Clair shoreline, followed by the 700 series for mile road and Pontiac routes and finally the 800 series for park and ride routes. This system was first adopted by SEMTA in mid-1975.
- 1xx: West Jefferson Avenue corridor, Fort Street corridor and other Downriver routes
- 2xx: Michigan Avenue corridor, Telegraph Road corridor and other western Wayne County routes
- 3xx: Grand River Avenue corridor and other northwest-side routes
- 4xx: Oakland County routes
- 5xx: Inland Macomb County routes
- 6xx: Grosse Pointe and Macomb County shoreline routes
- 7xx: Crosstown routes along mile roads and Pontiac routes
- 8xx: Park and ride routes
- x61/x62/x63: FAST routes
These routes are categorized in six categories:
- FAST: Precursor to Bus Rapid Transit providing frequent, limited-stop service between Detroit and suburban communities at all times every day along major corridors.
- Main Corridor Route: Provides frequent service between Metro Detroit communities. Peak/rush hour trips extend into downtown Detroit.
- Community Route: Circulates within communities, providing local service to areas of communities not served by more frequent routes.
- Crosstown Route: Provides feeder service to main corridor routes, operating between communities.
- Commuter Route: Provides frequent service during peak/rush hours only from suburbs into downtown Detroit.
- Park & Ride Route: Express routes serving park & ride lots during peak/rush hours only from suburbs into downtown Detroit.
All routes are wheelchair accessible (as SMART's last-remaining non-wheelchair accessible buses were retired in 1995).

Service changes
SMART often modifies routings and schedules (at least four times a year) for many reasons, including adjusted run times; openings and closures of important stops such as transit centers, malls and big-box stores and supercenters such as Meijer and Walmart; and construction. The most notable service changes almost always occur in January, April, June and September.
Paper schedule booklet covers
When SMART began in 1989, the original paper schedule booklet covers featured on the right a pictogram of a passenger-side front view of a Rapid Transit Series bus and on the left the route numbers and names that were included and a list of the communities served by those routes. This design remained until about 2003, when it was changed to the current design that now instead on the right displays a of a photo of 23383 with a "RIDE SMART" destination sign display while retaining the same route and community information on the left, but now with the handicap-accesible symbol and later "Bike Accesible" and eventually "Bus Tracker" symbols, while also eventually adding mentions of the SMART app including the Google Play and App Store logos on the bottom.

Livery
Four different livery schemes have traversed Metro Detroit streets during the last 11 years of the 20th century and during the 21st century.
The original livery was white with red and orange stripes and black trim around the windows, this one was actually inherited from SEMTA, who first started using it on their first RTS buses in 1978, which were also inherited by SMART and lasted until 1995. The black trim was discontinued upon the arrival of the 2101-2140 series in 2001, but the familiar white with red and orange stripe livery remained in use until 2010, though it is still used today on new 'Community Transit' vehicles.
Buses 3001-3002 deviated from the longtime livery for the first time by using a wrap of a flower field underneath a blue sky. This wrap is still exclusive to both buses.
Beginning with 3003-3005 in 2011, a new template livery was created that is still standard today. It now basically features a retro-styled double-wave design on each side, similar in style to those on the last livery used by Martin Lines prior to it's acquisition by SEMTA, with the waves, the area above the passenger windows, above the engine door on the rear and destination sign area on the front one color and the remainder a different color. Three different color combinations are currently used, derived from the colors of three major Michigan universities: a green-and-gold design for Wayne State University, green-and-white for Michigan State University and maize-and-blue for the University of Michigan.
A modified version is used on buses 3019-3020, which still feature the base Michigan State University colors but instead feature two wide white stripes running from top to bottom across the center of the sides of the vehicle.
Since 2011, new 'Connector' vehicles feature a white base with a red stripe running around the sides before thickening and kicking around the rear.
Logo
The same logo has been used since SMART's 1989 creation, although the distinctive red snail symbol has been used since the SEMTA days.
Slogans
SMART has used various slogans through the years. Past slogans included It's The SMART Thing To Do and For Our Community. Currently, it uses It's a good start when you begin with SMART! as the slogan.
Advertising
For several months after it's creation in 1989, SMART ran extensive catchy newspaper ads in several Detroit-area newspaper publications. SMART has since stopped doing this practice.
Television
Occasionally, every few years, SMART will run an extensive television advertising campaign on various channels in the Detroit area. The current campaign began in late April 2016 and consists of three different commercials, viewable online at this link.
Bus wraps
Since 2014, SMART will wrap (completely cover) selected buses with advertisements for a number of local, regional and national companies. Most of these so far advertise Central Michigan University, currently seen on a few 23301-23357 series buses.

Park & Ride
Fleet
SMART service is operated with hundreds of different vehicle types classified into four different types:
- 267 conventional fixed-route transit buses, featuring vehicles from Gillig in 40-foot Low Floor models and 40-foot bio-diesel and diesel-electric hybrid BRT models and from New Flyer Industries in 40-foot second-hand D40LF and 60-foot articulated diesel-electric hybrid DE60LF models, based at three terminals: Macomb, Oakland and Wayne.
- 120 'Connector' cutaways, featuring ElDorado National Aerotech models and propane Champion Bus Challenger models on either Ford Motor Company or Chevrolet chassis, based at the same three terminals as the fixed-route buses.
- Over 180 'Community Transit' vehicles, featuring a mix of Ford Motor Company vans and ElDorado National Aerotech and Aerolite cutaway models and Champion Bus Challenger cutaway models, operated by the communities that opt in to SMART.
- Over 60 purchase-of-service vehicles, mainly Ford Motor Company vans but also cutaways and 29-foot Gillig BRT models assigned to operate for Lake Erie Transit in Monroe, MI.
Following the retirement of the last high-floor buses in September 2004 (except for a brief period in December 2008), the entire fixed-route fleet became low-floor. All fixed-route vehicles feature Clever Devices automated next-stop announcements and interior LED signs (both installed in late 2013 and made standard on all newer vehicles) and GPS systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, Sportworks bicycle racks (installed in 2004 and made standard on all newer vehicles), air conditioning and wheelchair ramps at the front door.
Destination signs originate from either the defunct Vultron company (LED signs) or Luminator (Horizon signs). The last remaining buses with mylar-curtain rollsigns, all of which were inherited from SEMTA, were retired in late 1995, while the last full flipdot signs (also manufactured by Vultron) were retired with the last high-floor buses in 2004, and the last LED/flipdot signs (also manufacturered by Vultron) were retired in February 2019. Rollsigns, however, were still used for run number boxes on all operational SMART vehicles except those manufactured by New Flyer Industries up until 2016.
Nearly all vehicles also feature the website URL of smartbus.org and SMART's primary phone number of (866) 962-5515 on at least one side, in effect since 2004, prior to then, buses only carried the phone number, which was first launched by SEMTA as the number (313) 962-5515, with the area code ultimately being included in items featuring the number as additional area codes (specifically 810, 248, 947, 734 and 586) were created in Metro Detroit during the early SMART era.
