Will Farmington City stay SMART? Will Keego Harbor get SMART?

So Farmington Hills residents will be able to vote in August to maintain SMART regional bus service.

But what about residents of the City of Farmington or Keego Harbor? Their city officials will decide soon!

In Oakland and Wayne Counties, each city or township council can decide whether their residents get to vote on the SMART millage and bus service. The councils of these two cities will be debating this issue and need your input!

The City of Farmington is debating whether to allow their residents to stay in SMART! The City Council will consider the issue and hear public input on Tuesday, January 26.

Keego Harbor is considering joining SMART for the first time!!

On Thursday, January 21, at 6pm, the City Council of Keego Harbor will debate and vote whether to add the option to join the SMART Bus system to the August ballot.
