Planning for the Future

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

Under the leadership of its new General Manager, Eddy Cumins, SMART has begun the process of developing a Strategic Plan. The first step in the planning process was to conduct a SWOT Analysis, consisting of a clear-eyed look at SMART's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats developed by SMART staff.

This was followed by the SMART Board of Directors creating Vision and Mission statements.

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 also reviewed the results of the SWOT Analysis and identified four Strategic Objectives upon which to focus the Strategic Planning process. These Strategic Objectives are:

Ridership
Pathways
Extensions
Freight

PUBLIC INPUT

The next step is to engage with the public to learn more about what our riders and the general public think about SMART. You are encouraged to share your ideas and comments in 3-ways:
