@DE_Gifford @DetroitTransit Their budget proposal is almost entirely for fixed-route buses.

@NotSmartWayne @DetroitTransit By the way, it’s not a SMART millage. It’s a transit millage. The money raised can also be used to provide rural, on demand & senior transit, not just buses.

Not sure where they are getting this $500M number. The combined annual budgets of SMART, DDOT, TheRide, People Mover & QLINE combined are less than $500M a year. The 2016 RTA proposal would have only raised an additional $200M a year. @DetroitTransit

@DE_Gifford @DetroitTransit Why is Detroit colored green? Do they current pay the SMART tax?

@NotSmartWayne @DetroitTransit The current municipalities that participate in the transit millage contribute $20-23M already. The outlying communities, including Detroit which receives SMART service without contribution, would raise an additional what, $35M?

THANK YOU to the City of Rockwood for taking a stand against the ridiculous half a billion dollar bus tax! Why? See the resolution below. Want to join the fight? Visit us at notsmartwayne.org and join or donate!

DID YOU KNOW that the Michigan Legislature took away Wayne County's right to opt out of SMART? For 30 years, we could decide city-by-city to participate. Lansing has stripped that right away, and a new tax will be on the ballot in August! Visit notsmartwayne.org.

Hear from @mjwgoblue as he explains the disaster that is the new bus tax. Follow us to spread the word!
