MTC is a partner with SMART on the project. The milestone reflects SMART's ongoing dedication to advancing regional transit and fostering vibrant, connected communities. 

Despite challenges in recent years such as forest fires and the COVID-19 pandemic, SMART shows growth in pre-pandemic ridership and is operating more rail service than prior to the pandemic.

SMART serves a market of regional rail between North Bay cities and inter-county level travel as well as providing connection to ferry service at Larkspur Station, within walking distance of the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. The service is comprised of 45 miles of rail and 13 passenger stations beginning at the Sonoma County Airport and ending in Larkspur. A 14th station in Windsor is anticipated to open for passenger rail service later this year.
