Draft Documents

• Draft SMART Strategic Plan 2025-2030
• Appendix A - Outreach Summary
• Appendix B - Revenues and Expenditures by Fiscal Year

The goals of the Strategic Plan are to:

• Define the strategic direction of the organization
• Establish objectives and goals which are in line with the vision and mission
• Define a plan to achieve the objectives and goals
• Promote collaboration, collective responsibility, and accountability

The Plan is built on the foundation of the Vision and Mission statements adopted by the Board in 2022:

Vision Statement: Smarter Transportation for a Smarter Future
SMART envisions an innovative transportation system that provides integrated mobility solutions, promotes sustainable growth, and enhances quality of life.

Mission Statement: We Connect Communities
SMART provides safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible transportation options.

The Board of Directors identified four strategic objective areas upon which to focus the Strategic Planning process: Ridership, Pathways, Extensions, and Freight. The Draft Plan is structured around these four objective areas.
