Beginning Monday, August 10, Sonoma County Transit will offer redesigned weekday service between Sonoma and Petaluma, with schedules coordinated around morning and evening SMART trains.
Sonoma County Transit is redesigning Route 40 as Route 40X, a pilot service focused on providing more practical commute connections between Sonoma Plaza and the Petaluma Downtown SMART station.
The change responds to requests from riders for a transit option that makes it easier to travel from Sonoma to destinations along the SMART corridor without driving the full trip. Route 40X will operate during weekday morning and afternoon/evening commute periods.
Route 40X at a Glance
Route 40X will provide three morning and three afternoon/evening trips in each direction.
From Sonoma Plaza to Petaluma SMART:
- Morning departures: 6:17, 6:49 and 7:21 a.m.
