Reimagine SamTrans was a comprehensive operational analysis (COA) project to evaluate and refresh the entire SamTrans bus system that began in Summer 2019. The project team conducted three rounds of public outreach, as well as existing conditions evaluation and market research. We worked hard to ensure the project reflected changing travel patterns and transportation needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three alternative SamTrans networks with potential service changes were developed in Winter 2021 and made public for community input during Spring 2021. A final network was developed in Summer 2021, followed by a final round of public input in Fall 2021. The results and findings from that outreach can be found on the Resources page.

Staff carefully considered each piece of input we received and made some adjustments to the final new network. Implementation of the final network occurred over multiple phases between Summer 2022 and Summer 2024. The full Reimagine SamTrans new network was implemented in full as of August 2024.
