Proposed by: Macomb County Board of Commissioners

The county's elected board voted unanimously to put this SMART bus tax on the ballot. In 2022 it only narrowly agreed to do so.

A YES vote means

Set a 0.94 mill county property tax for 2027–2031 to fund buses and other transit for older adults, people with disabilities, and the public. It replaces the 0.95 mill tax expiring in 2026.

A NO vote means

Reject the replacement tax. The current 0.95 mill transit tax would expire after 2026, and this new county funding for SMART and local transit would not start.
