NEW! Mound/Hamtramck

100is now ➔500

Previously introduced as Route 100, fixed route SMART service in Hamtramck is slated to launch as Route 500 Mound/Hamtramck on Labor Day. The route number was updated to better align with other nearby routes in the system.

At launch, Route 500 will connect downtown Detroit and the Detroit Medical Center campus to Hamtramck, ending at Bel Air Center on Eight Mile east of Van Dyke. Service will operate hourly from approximately 6am to 11pm Monday through Saturday and 8am to 5pm Sunday.

In a future phase of SMARTer Network implementation, Route 500 will be extended along Mound to Hall Road in Sterling Heights. Expect more information on this extension next year.

Improved Service on Ford Road

250

Weekday frequency will improve to every 30 minutes on Route 250. Saturday service will also be added. Existing express weekday trips on Route 255 will be maintained.

On August 4, 2026, a countywide transit funding proposal will be on the ballot in Wayne County. An overview highlighting proposed service expansions by community has been prepared for public and stakeholder review.

For information on the previously announced launch of fixed route service in Hamtramck, see the September 7, 2026 service change page.

Hamtramck Update

Following input from the public and the City of Hamtramck, SMART collaborated 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. 

For more information, see the September 7, 2026 service change page.
