Tell us: Will SMART service change the way you commute, travel, work?

The return of passenger rail service to the North Bay - now planned for this summer - promises to be a historic moment. But will it be a game-changer?

Supporters foresee Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit trains transforming the way people around the region work, travel and engage with their communities. Others are more skeptical, viewing SMART as an ill-conceived waste of taxpayer money.

What will SMART’s start mean to you? Are you planning to ride the trains, and if so, for what purpose?
