Mission

Our mission is to catalyze public investment in high-quality, frequent, and connected transit options that get people where they need to go.

Goals and Accomplishments:

Transit services should be easy to navigate, and feel safe and comfortable for all users. Our recent advocacy projects have included helping shape the MASCOTs roll-out, which has led to greater coordination among North Bay transit systems; campaigning to pass the SMART ballot measure in June 2026, which has given SMART train & path a reliable source of operating income through 2050; and recruiting elected leaders to participate in the national Week Without Driving.

In the coming year, our priorities include ensuring every bus stop provides reasonable seating, and advocating for both expanded operating and more frequent service.

What you can do:

Sign up to join North Bay Transit Riders; the more people we represent, the more influence we have as advocates for transit riders.

On the 3rd Monday of every month we have a Zoom speaker meeting at 6:30pm. Topics and speakers range from hearing about the rollout of the MASCOT plan to movement to change transit funding in California.
