Wayne County voters back $57 million annual transit millageWayne County voters overwhelmingly approved a property tax proposal Tuesday that renews public transportation funding and expands transit service across the entire county, bringing it in line with neighboring Oakland and Macomb Counties. For decades, 17 Wayne County cities and townships had opted out of the regional SMART system. Revenue will be distributed among Wayne County, SMART, the Detroit Department of Transportation and other community and regional transportation providers. “This is about access, opportunity and improving people’s lives,” Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans said in a statement. Gunter said the approval marked the first time every Wayne County community would be included in one connected public transportation system.
