‘A huge victory’: $81M to extend SMART rail service from Windsor through Healdsburg

Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit has been awarded $81 million in state funds to extend passenger rail service north from Windsor through Healdsburg, the transit district said.

SMART’s northern extension, which will reduce congestion on U.S. Highway 101, is still awaiting additional grant decisions due in June, the district said Friday in a press release.
