Current Advisory Body Vacancies:

SamTrans is conducting public outreach on the three potential alternatives for its service identified through 'Reimagine SamTrans,' a comprehensive operational analysis of the agency.

San Mateo County residents can give feedback online at www.ReimagineSamTrans.com through Monday, May 31 which will be instrumental to determining how existing routes could change.

The three alternatives were crafted from the feedback received from the outreach campaign held in 2019 and will help to modernize and optimize SamTrans service. This round of outreach will focus on and drill down into the route details, such as design, frequency, and span of service, as well as the trade-offs between different models.
