Multiple tax mechanisms were proposed to support SMART and mass transit. 24 hour 7 day State funded SMART bus service did not make the list of transportation improvement projects (TIP) from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) to provide the city of Detroit and nearby suburbs with more industry investments and job growth. Instead property taxes replaced state funding which resulted in the Livonia public bus reductions. These plans were submitted to SEMCOG and demonstrated to work in June 2003.
