The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) has been awarded a $7 million grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. This funding will support the completion of a segment of the SMART Pathway, a Class I multiuse facility that enhances mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians throughout Sonoma and Marin counties.
“With funding now in hand to match the state of California’s $6 million investment, construction will start summer of 2025 to close a large gap in the [Great Redwood Trail ] from Santa Rosa to the Sonoma County Airport,” said California Senate Pro Tempore Mike McGuire. “SMART has already kicked off construction of critical trail segments earlier this year. When all is said and done, a new 21-mile corridor of the world-class Great Redwood Trail will be complete in Sonoma County.”
