Letter to Metropolitan Transport Commission
From Jack Swearengen, PhD
Chair, Friends of SMART
Dear Colleagues at MTC:
The local cities of Petaluma and Novato each attract day-trippers from Marin and Sonoma Counties as well as from the rest of the Bay Area. But the wine country that extends northward from Santa Rosa into Mendocino County provides an international tourist draw as well as a favored destination for residents from all over the greater Bay Area. The tourism and visitor potential for SMART can offset much or all of the public cost of extending the tracks to Healdsburg.
