SUMMARY:Take a Ride on the SMART Train with MCL!
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s your first ride or one of many\, please join MCL and friends for this opportunity to learn from insiders about Marin’s only rail service and the role it plays in increasing Marin’s public transportation options and efficiency. \nFriday\, October 23\, 2026\n8:25 am–1:45 pm\nOpen to all–bring a friend! \nOur SMART group seating is limited to 20—reserve your seats below! \n \nThe Itinerary: \n\n8:25 gathering:  We gather at the SMART station platform at Larkspur Landing to meet with Marin Transit’s General Manager\, Robert Betts. Robert will share updates on Marin and Sonoma transit agencies’ increasing coordination\, streamlining\, and new services.\n9:12 departure: We board SMART’s northbound weekday train. The train (trip number 14) promptly leaves the station.\nMCL’s Land Use\, Transportation & Water Committee Co-chair\, Paul Jensen\, will be our guide for the day. Paul will highlight points of history and interest along the rail right-of-way as we travel north.\n9:57 arrival: We disembark at Petaluma North station to meet with SMART’s representatives. SMART will provide planning updates on future rail extensions\, possible east-west passenger service to Vallejo\, and SMART’s freight services. What future opportunities does SMART have to reduce its impacts and create a net positive for the environment?\n10:29 departure: We reboard SMART’s northbound train (trip number 16).
