Regional Transit System vote fails to make November ballot

It was a long afternoon of meetings, and at times, things got heated as officials weighed in on adding a regional transit system in southeast Michigan.  The Connect Southeast Michigan Regional Transit plan will have more bus routes, express routes and a commuter rail to Ann Arbor. It was going to cost $1.5 million annually for the next 20 years, generating $5.42 billion in tax revenue. This is an improved plan to the 2016 transit plan that was narrowly not voted in the 2016 ballot.
