Check out SEMCOG's new(ish) Transportation blog!

SEMCOG manages transportation funding and projects for the entire 7-county southeast Michigan area - a very important role, headed by Carmine Polumbo. Carmine has recently started a blog sharing his thoughts, ideas, and news on key transportation issues. His most recent notes the Farmington Hills City Council voting to remain in SMART:

"This is a huge win for both SMART and regional transit in general, but I don’t think SMART is out of danger just yet.
Transit is facing some important challenges in 2010, the results of which may go a long way in determining how effective transit is and how attractive it will be to local governments. . . ."
