We recommend a YES vote.

OAKLAND COUNTY MASS TRANSIT MILLAGE

This public transit millage would be levied at a maximum rate of .95 mills for 10 years beginning in 2022, and end the opt-out provision currently permitted by SMART. This tax would replace the current one-mill levy by SMART which expires at the end of 2022. If approved, the tax will support current public transportation services in Oakland County, create and extend new routes to connect local communities and increase transportation service for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities.
