List of fixed routes List of Proposed fixed routes for 2023 492 Rochester Oakland University to Somerset Collection 759 Highland/Huron Waterford Cinema to Oakland University Flex Flex is an on-demand microtransit service operated by Via Transportation, intended as a last-mile service to connect fixed route riders to their final destinations. The service operates similar to ridesharing; a passenger books a ride via telephone through the Flex app, and a marked vehicle (usually a minivan) picks them up (within 30 minutes) and takes them to their destination. Flex was launched in March 2021, and currently operates in five service zones, covering all or part of 20 SMART member communities. The fleet used for Flex consists of Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Toyota Sienna minivans, Chevrolet Blazer SUVs, and Chevrolet Malibu sedans, owned by Avis Budget Group. Each vehicle seats three or four Flex passengers, and some are equipped to transport wheelchairs. Connector Connector is a paratransit service available across the SMART service area. It is available to residents of all ages, provided they live more than 1/3 of a mile away from a fixed route, though the distance requirement is waived for seniors (65 or older) and disabled riders. Connector service requires a reservation made by telephone at least one day in advance, and is operated using minibuses, primarily Champion Challenger units.

Unlike Connector, which is operated directly by SMART, Community Transit is operated by the municipal governments of member communities, as well as some nonprofit organizations.
