About the project:

SMART is extending its regional passenger rail service northward from Windsor to Healdsburg, reconnecting the city to rail transit.

The project will add roughly nine miles of track, construct a new SMART station in Healdsburg, and extend the SMART multi-use pathway for walking and biking alongside the rail corridor.

Critical infrastructure upgrades—including improved grade crossings, bridge rehabilitation, modern signaling, and safety systems—are part of the project.

A design-build contract was awarded in 2025, and passenger service is anticipated to start by late 2028.

The extension is funded through a combination of federal, state, regional, and local grants, reflecting strong support for expanding sustainable transportation, reducing congestion, and enhancing regional connectivity.
