New funding has been given to SMART. Thirty-Million dollars is going to the agency from a state senate bill that will go towards completing the rail system and bicycle/pedestrian pathway extension to Windsor. With these funds, SMART can complete the Windsor extension and begin engineering and construction of critical segments of the Healdsburg extension. The extension to Windsor is already 30-percent constructed and is a necessary step in restoring passenger rail and freight service to northern Sonoma County. Ridership models project the Windsor station will yield some of SMART’s highest ridership.
