We’re thrilled to see Santa Maria Regional Transit’s (SMRT) pilot microtransit program up and running. The Karsan eJEST electric mini-buses have been in operation since the beginning of October, bringing eco-friendly and flexible transportation to the community. We look forward to watching this initiative expand, offering more sustainable and accessible transit solutions for Santa Maria’s residents.

The pilot is a significant step toward creating a cleaner and more efficient transportation system, demonstrating how microtransit can enhance mobility while supporting environmental goals. This innovative service offers on-demand, flexible transportation, allowing riders to book trips easily through the SMRT Micro app.

Karsan eJEST buses provide an eco-friendly solution, helping to promote cleaner air and a more sustainable transit system. With their compact size, these mini-buses can navigate narrow streets, making them the perfect fit for microtransit services. This new pilot program also focuses on Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessibility, ensuring convenient rides for all members of the community. As Santa Maria embraces this forward-thinking service, we're proud to contribute to the city's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship by providing right vehicles for their needs.
