Windsor Transit Plan Would Eliminate Route 62 and Retimetable Route 66 for SMART

SONOMA COUNTY, Calif. — October 27, 2026. Sonoma County Transit is proposing elimination of Route 62 due to low ridership and overlap with SMART rail and SMART Connect shuttle services, alongside new Route 66 timing and stop adjustments around Windsor.

What is proposed or reported

This is one of the most consequential parts of the October 27 public hearing proposal for riders who use Windsor-area connections. The county says Route 66 would be retimed to connect better with SMART and adjusted at some stops for safety, while Route 60X would also be positioned to serve the Windsor SMART station.

What residents should verify

The plan has not been shown to be in effect through a final timetable. Before relying on SMART Connect as an alternative, riders should confirm shuttle eligibility, operating hours, fares and accessibility. The change may affect different riders differently.
