SMART to surpass the 100,000-cyclist mark

 

“The bicycling community has been very supportive, taking their bikes on board as part of their daily commute and for recreation,” said SMART Board Chairman Gary Phillips. “To help celebrate this milestone, our conductors will be handing out passes good for free train trips to cyclists on board as our way of saying ‘thank you’ and so they can share their SMART train experience with their friends and families.”

SMART recommended to receive for $12.6 million grant for bicycle and pedestrian pathway


“This funding will allow SMART to complete its multi-use pathway in key cities and build on its existing connections to train stations. As Sonoma County’s representative on MTC, this is a significant accomplishment for our constituents, and I am committed to working with my fellow MTC commissioners to secure final approval of this grant,” said MTC Commissioner and SMART Board member Jake Mackenzie.

SMART Set to Reach 1 Million Passenger Mark

 

“We are fortunate and grateful to have such strong community support,” said Debora Fudge, chairwoman of SMART’s Board of Directors. “With each day that passes, we get closer and closer to reaching the million-rider mark. Our conductors are ready, and on the day we achieve that milestone, they will be handing out cards to passengers for free train trips. This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our riders and it is also a way for them to share their SMART train experience with a friend or family member.”
