Eddy Cumins, GM of SMART train, shared the success the program has attained in the past few years. Ridership has dramatically increased both during the week and weekends. Additionally, use of the bike/walk ways has grown. On nearly all metrics SMART is exceeding expectations and performing well ahead of comparable transit systems across the country. Plans for expansion to Healdsburg are on "track" to finish by the end of 2028. Free ridership for students and seniors will continue for another year.
All in all, an excellent report card and very well received.
