M-1 is not a government agency, it is a private group that pledged $100 million for a 3.4 mile long light-rail system beginning at Jefferson Ave. This whole Woodward light-rail project went "off the rails" because it got expanded to a 9+ mile long system that brought with it a whole bunch of Federal involvement, which doomed M-1's plans.

If M-1 wanted to include the People Mover in their plans, they would have done so - but they were smart enough to not include it.
