Cruise Woodward the SMART way!

 

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.

­SMART Spreads Holiday Cheer!

 

It’s that time of year again! The Holiday Season is upon us once again, and SMART is happy to present its 6^th Annual Holiday Pass Giveaway.

 

The holiday season isn’t always the most joyous time of the year – particularly for those in need. SMART recognizes that some could use an unexpected gift to uplift their spirits and that many of those same people are also loyal SMART riders!

 

Who:       SMART Holiday Helpers

What:     Either a pair of courtesy tickets, each good for one ride on SMART, or $2.00 31 Day 
                monthly passes

Where:   At your SMART stop or on your SMART bus

When:    The week of December 17^th!

Why:       To spread the holiday cheer to randomly selected passengers.

 

We love a good surprise, so we aren’t disclosing the times the Holiday Helpers will deliver the free rides! SMART riders and coach operators should be on the lookout! As always, we ask if the recipient can’t use the tickets or pass to please pay it forward to someone in need.

 

While summer is winding down, the final events aren't stopping. Be sure to keep an eye on any detours that may impact your route so you can know before you go!
