What could be SMARTer?

Sacramento Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART) is a broad-based coalition of business, labor, transportation, environmental, neighborhood, faith-based, and community leaders fans organizations founded in 2019 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2024. SMART is the premier regional voice for smart growth, responsible climate action, and sustainable transportation.

Our mission is to educate, organize, and advocate for expanded and improved rail and transit services for the Sacramento region; and to support equitable mobility options, smart growth, clean air, and sustainability.

SMART's growing base of hundreds of friends and supporters share a vision with thousands of Sacramentans who want to see an innovative, seamless, and diversified transportation network offering a wide range of accessible, affordable, and efficient mobility choices coupled with supportive land uses. The transportation network should also strengthen and diversify our economy, improve our air quality, and reduce carbon emissions and vehicle miles traveled by minimizing single occupancy vehicle trips, expanding and improving public transit and shared mobility services, and providing safe access for bicyclists and pedestrians. All community members, and particularly those from underserved communities, should have access to sustainable and affordable mobility options that facilitate positive community outcomes for public health and safety, livability, and economic vitality. In short, virtually all residents and visitors in the Sacramento region should have the option of living, working, and playing within walking distance or a transit stop from everything they need.
