SMARTer Mobility Study
SMART launched the SMARTer Mobility Study in early 2023 to evaluate their fixed route/ADA, connector general service, and the current micro transit pilot program to aid in the evaluation and analysis of the services within the region. When complete, the Study will include:
Recommendations for service design and improvements for overall system efficiency and operational effectiveness
• Examination of all possible alternatives to address the existing services, as well as currently known, but unmet service requests that are anticipated in conjunction with new areas of development
• Comprehensive engagement with legislators, regional and local stakeholders, transit riders, and the communities

The Study
The SMARTer Mobility Study is designed to be a comprehensive plan to guide decision-making for SMART as it relates to changes to their fixed-route service and Connector service. The plan will detail how SMART can achieve and maintain excellence in its system and service while operating as a premier transit system for the greater Detroit region. Addressing the needs and wants of its communities and partners is integral to the process.
Following the planning process, the SMARTer Mobility Plan will be an action-oriented strategy for making major investments and changes to service within SMART's system, and will guide the agency, its planning partners, the public, and regional stakeholders in setting priorities for major transit investments.
