Voters will decide Aug. 6
whether the SMART transit system will continue to
provide 200,000 rides a week - or shut down within
30 days.
SMART has been operating with
farebox revenues, state and federal grants and,
since 1995, a .33-mill property tax levy. Costs of
vehicles, fuel, wages health coverage and liability
insurance have continued to rise. Revenue has not
kept pace. state and federal revenue has been
proportionately diminishing.
SMART is asking for a .33
mill renewal and a .27 mill increase to keep the
system operating.
Without the funding, SMART's
funds will be used up in 30 days. The system will
be shut down.
