Passenger Rail Feasibility Study: Novato to Suisun
At the request of the California State Transportation Agency, SMART has reviewed the technical feasibility of implementing passenger rail service between Novato and Suisun City to a connection to the Capitol Corridor passenger rail system. The Feasibility Study inventories the facilities and natural environment, develops conceptual options for rail service, provides high-level cost estimates and approximates travel times. This exciting prospect could provide a transportation alternative to those that travel the Highway 37 corridor and build upon transit connections that exist today.
