Active Transportation Plan adoption

Transit system overhaul (MASCOT Phase 2)
Sonoma County Transit, Santa Rosa CityBus, and Petaluma Transit are coordinating as one system to connect riders to SMART, cutting duplicated routes. The Windsor Route 62 gets suspended and some SRJC trips will now cost $3 via SMART instead of a free but 100-minute bus.
