Riders of SMART (Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation) will soon find solar powered USB charging ports in transit shelters throughout greater metro Detroit.
SMART has long purchased solar powered lighting systems from Brasco but recently added the USB enhancement to their most recent 2016 shelter procurement. The addition of charging ports is aimed to improve ridership equity and represents SMART’s ongoing efforts as a green energy agency. Each Eclipse model transit shelter features a flex solar panel, LED security light and two USB charging ports.
