* ​The millage will keep and maintain current public transit service in place across Oakland County.
* It will improve and expand transit by creating and extending routes and expanding rural transit to improve mobility across all of Oakland County.
* It will fund capital improvements and seize new opportunities to match federal, state, and other funding opportunities because of the recently adopted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter released the following statement in support of the Board of Commissioner's bipartisan resolution to place a countywide public transit millage on the November ballot. Should Oakland County voters approve the .95 mills for Oakland County public transportation, it will provide transportation options through SMART, the North Oakland Transportation Authority, the West Oakland Transportation Authority, and the Older Persons Commission. The millage will also provide new paratransit coverage, new micro transit areas, routes to high-demand areas, and service improvements on existing routes. Coulter's statement follows:

*"I fully support the transit proposal approved in a bipartisan vote by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and look forward to talking to residents throughout the county and urging its passage in the coming weeks because this is an opportunity to begin solving a vital economic and quality of life issue that has held our region back for decades.*

*Reliable, efficient, and affordable public transportation is a critical asset for the residents and businesses of Oakland County. This proposal is a positive step toward building and expanding such a transit system across Oakland County. This solution is essential for workers trying to get to jobs and businesses that are facing a serious shortages of employees. It is also critical that our older residents have full access to on-demand services throughout the county."*
