Episode Synopsis

Our guest is Eddy Cumins, the General Manager of the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit system (SMART). This regional agency began passenger rail service in 2017 and now operates trains along a 45-mile corridor between Marin and Sonoma counties, stretching from Larkspur in the south to Windsor in the north. More than 4,700 riders are now taking the train every weekday. We speak with Eddy about the future of rail in the North Bay, how SMART fits into the region’s transportation goals, and why this project matters — whether you ride the train every day or have yet to step on board.
