SMART considers new station in Geyserville to boost tourism and commutes
The North Bay’s SMART Train, which continues to see growth in both ridership and stations, is now looking into adding a new stop in Geyserville to connect riders to the area's numerous attractions. Whether catering to visitors traveling from San Francisco or North Bay residents themselves, day-tripping is becoming an increasingly popular activity. Many Geyserville residents hope a new SMART Train station will mirror the positive economic impacts currently being seen in Windsor.
Local perspective:
Though Geyserville is small, the area is home to approximately 1,800 residents who successfully convinced Sacramento lawmakers to allow a transit stop in the community. "A great idea because it is something that we truly need around here. A lot of people tend to skip Geyserville," said Cat Wenke, manager of the Bannister Wine Tasting Room. For day trippers, the train could open up a new dining and drinking environment without the safety concerns of driving. "You don't have to worry about that and would make it just a direct ride right to here and go back home," said Alvin Ruiz, a diner visiting from Ukiah.

Would like to see what's next after Cloverdale, either with Ukiah and Willits or the Schellville line.
