<strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Shuttles</strong><br />
White Paper No. 9<br />
The <strong>SMART</strong> train will be a great transportation alternative if you are trying to get from Point A<br />
to Point B. But what if your job or home or other destination happens to be at Point C?<br />
Hop on a <strong>SMART</strong> shuttle.<br />
Shuttle services to and from <strong>SMART</strong>’s train stations are designed to serve areas with substantial<br />
job concentrations and other key travel destinations that are either outside a reasonable walking<br />
distance or divided from the station by hills, highways or other walking impediments.<br />
<strong>SMART</strong>’s Final Environmental Impact Report studied and identified nine shuttle routes that will<br />
serve seven stations at the start-up of passenger rail service. Depending on demand, employment<br />
patterns and other factors, the <strong>SMART</strong> Board of Directors may add, subtract or change shuttle<br />
routes in the future. There also may be opportunities to coordinate existing public or private<br />
shuttle services with the <strong>SMART</strong> train or, as is the case along the Peninsula’s Caltrain line, for<br />
businesses to establish their own shuttles to bring employees and/or customers to and from<br />
<strong>SMART</strong> stations. Public-private partnerships are also a possible way to operate some shuttles.<br />
<strong>SMART</strong>’s EIR outlined a plan that included shuttles that will be free to train passengers and will<br />
serve the following areas:<br />

Again, the <strong>SMART</strong> shuttle plan may be modified or expanded to meet demand at and around<br />
various stations. Since the EIR was completed, for example, <strong>SMART</strong> has had discussions with<br />
public transit agencies and private entities about the<br />
possibility of providing shuttle service between<br />
<strong>SMART</strong>’s station in downtown Santa Rosa and that<br />
city’s Courthouse Square-<strong>Transit</strong> Mall area. A shuttle<br />
also has been suggested between the Windsor Station<br />
and the <strong>Sonoma</strong> County Airport. <strong>SMART</strong>’s shuttle<br />
plan is intended to be flexible and responsive to the<br />
needs of <strong>SMART</strong> passengers, and will continue to be<br />
refined as the rail system moves closer to operation.<br />
<strong>SMART</strong> shuttles will supplement, not replace,<br />
existing transit services. <strong>SMART</strong>’s proposed schedule and station locations are designed to allow<br />
the train to work in harmony with local transit. <strong>SMART</strong> will cooperate with local transit districts<br />
to ensure that future routes and schedules maximize opportunities for rail-transit connections<br />
throughout <strong>Marin</strong> and <strong>Sonoma</strong> counties.<br />
<strong>SMART</strong>’s shuttles are modeled after successful shuttles that serve other major rail systems in the<br />
Bay <strong>Area</strong>. For example, more than 25 shuttles link BART to business parks, shopping districts,<br />
airports, hospitals and universities. On the Caltrain line, 42 shuttles funded through public-<br />
White Paper No. 9, February 2008 9 : 2
private partnerships serve a wide variety of destinations. The Altamont Commuter Express<br />
(ACE) rail line from Stockton to San Jose links to a series of color-coded shuttles in San Jose, in<br />
addition to light rail and bus connections.<br />
A number of public-private partnerships also have helped develop additional shuttle services to<br />
rail corridors. Examples include shuttles connecting to Caltrain for employees and students at<br />
Google, Genentech and Stanford University. The highly successful San Francisco State<br />
University shuttle connects the university directly to the Daly City BART Station.<br />
Some local governments have chosen to fund shuttles to<br />
supplement existing transit service, particularly to downtown<br />
shopping areas or community facilities. Examples include<br />
the Burlingame Trolley Shuttle, the Foster City Community<br />
Shuttle and the San Benito County Shuttle – all of which<br />
connect to the Caltrain system.<br />
In its Expenditure Plan, <strong>SMART</strong> included funding for nine<br />
shuttles at rail service start-up. The proposed shuttle system<br />
would be operated under contract to <strong>SMART</strong>, with the rail<br />
district responsible for hiring the contractor, planning shuttle<br />
routes and schedules and monitoring the quality of service. It<br />
is assumed the selected contractor(s) would own and<br />
maintain the shuttle vehicles.<br />
<strong>SMART</strong> shuttle ridership is projected at 500-600 passenger trips per weekday in the year 2025.<br />
As a portion of total daily rail ridership, this estimate is consistent with both MetroLink’s experience<br />
with its southern California commuter rail system and Caltrain’s experience with its<br />
Peninsula commuter rail system.<br />
The routing and scheduling of shuttles would create a 25-minute<br />
circuit, or loop, from departure at a rail station to return. During peakhours<br />
when trains are running at 30-minute intervals, this would permit<br />
a timed transfer at the rail station of five minutes or less. The shuttles<br />
would generally be timed to meet the peak-direction train – southbound<br />
in the morning and northbound in the evening – but could be used by<br />
both southbound and northbound travelers.<br />
The shuttle system is intended to be flexible and may be subject to change<br />
as ridership and future changes in employment patterns warrant. If passenger loads are more or<br />
less than expected, larger or smaller vehicles can be substituted. If traffic congestion increases<br />
the shuttles’ cycle times, the route can be adjusted to fit within the required timing. <strong>Shuttles</strong> may<br />
be added at other stations in the future, subject to <strong>SMART</strong> Board approval.<br />
