Transit App | Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit

Transit App

Transit is SMART’s new mobile app for navigating public transit and receiving the rider alerts you need. It helps riders navigate the SMART system, as well as other North Bay transit systems and destinations beyond. SMART riders will automatically receive a free upgrade to Royale, the premium subscription in the Transit, unlocking full access to enhanced features.

Effecttive Monday, June 1, 2026, SMART will finalize the transition of Rider Alerts from the Nixle platform to the Transit app. Riders are encouraged to download the app to continue receiving SMART service alerts and real-time schedule information.

The Transit app provides a single, easy-to-use platform for SMART and other North Bay transit services, where riders can access schedules, trip planning, real-time arrivals, and service alerts in one place. Notifications can also be personalized so riders receive updates most relevant to their travel times and routes.
