Smart Coordinated Transit Service Plan 2026-2029
This document provides an update on the Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Service Plan (MASCOTS), a collaborative initiative designed to optimize regional transit service, reduce duplication, and grow ridership in the Marin-Sonoma Highway 101 corridor. Key changes implemented include expanded regional services by SMART and Golden Gate Transit (GGT), streamlined Southern Marin bus service, and enhanced local and East Bay connections. Early results from April-May 2026 indicate a 20% increase in SMART ridership, a 45% improvement in inter-agency transfers, and reduced travel times. The MASCOTS pilot is scheduled for evaluation and potential permanent changes between April 2026 and June 2029.

Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District Strategic Plan 2025-2030
The 2025-2030 SMART Strategic Plan's overall purpose is to expand system extensions and enhance regional connectivity. A key focus area under its 'Extensions' pillar is to complete the system extension to Cloverdale and pursue the addition of a Geyserville station. This initiative aims to enhance the value of the railroad investment in northern Sonoma County by improving system utility and facilitating public and private connectivity within the urban service area.
