Summer in Michigan means construction, and this summer, there is a lot going on! 

Even if you don’t see construction on your daily commute, please keep in mind that our routes are constantly running into detours and setbacks. If the bus is delayed before your stop, it can still slow you down. We try our hardest to work around these road projects, but safety is our number one priority - which means we may experience delays. 

Know before you go and stay updated by:
•Checking our service bulletins for any detours.
•Signing up for updates through your MySMART account.
•Preparing for delays by catching an earlier bus.
