SMART Set to Reach 1 Million Passenger Mark

 

“We are fortunate and grateful to have such strong community support,” said Debora Fudge, chairwoman of SMART’s Board of Directors. “With each day that passes, we get closer and closer to reaching the million-rider mark. Our conductors are ready, and on the day we achieve that milestone, they will be handing out cards to passengers for free train trips. This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our riders and it is also a way for them to share their SMART train experience with a friend or family member.”
