Smart Coordinated Transit Service Plan 2026-2029
This document provides an update on the Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Service Plan (MASCOTS), a collaborative initiative designed to optimize regional transit service, reduce duplication, and grow ridership in the Marin-Sonoma Highway 101 corridor. Key changes implemented include expanded regional services by SMART and Golden Gate Transit (GGT), streamlined Southern Marin bus service, and enhanced local and East Bay connections. Early results from April-May 2026 indicate a 20% increase in SMART ridership, a 45% improvement in inter-agency transfers, and reduced travel times. The MASCOTS pilot is scheduled for evaluation and potential permanent changes between April 2026 and June 2029.
