Proposed 2026 Service Changes

 

Route 100, Hamtramck: December 2025 Update

Following input from the public and the City of Hamtramck, SMART is collaborating with MDOT and Wayne County to add left turn exemptions for buses at Woodward / Holbrook and Caniff / Joseph Campau. This will allow for safe implementation of the originally proposed routing within Hamtramck along Holbrook, Joseph Campau, and Caniff. The most recently proposed route endpoints in downtown Detroit and the Bel Air Center (8 Mile) will be maintained. See updated map below.

An updated schematic map of Route 100 highlighting the connection to FAST Woodward at Grand, one block north of the Baltimore/Milwaukee stop outside the Amtrak station. Route 100 will travel via Holbrook, Joseph Campau, and Caniff in Hamtramck. The route intersects 20 DDOT routes as it travels from downtown Detroit to Bel Air Center at 8 Mile and Van Dyke.

Route 100 is slated to enter service in mid-2026.
