Sponsor the SMART Initiative Campaign Kick-Off

We’re kicking off the campaign to protect the future of SMART- and we invite you to lead the way.

Join Senate President Pro Tem Mike McGuire, Assemblymember Chris Rogers, and Assemblymember Damon Connolly for the SMART Initiative Campaign Kick-Off, a high-energy gathering to launch this region-defining effort.


This campaign will determine whether SMART continues to deliver clean, reliable, and connected rail service throughout Sonoma and Marin Counties. With stations expanding, ridership increasing, and Healdsburg station on the horizon, SMART is building real momentum- but without renewed funding, that progress could come to a halt.


This is our moment to act, and we need your early support to build a winning campaign.
