Help SamTrans reimagine Dumbarton freight corridor by March 6

by Contributed Content on February 24, 2026

SamTrans is reimagining the unused Dumbarton freight railroad line to bring fast, reliable, zero-emission bus service and improvements for people biking and walking to the communities of southeast San Mateo County, including Menlo Park, Redwood City, Atherton, East Palo Alto and North Fair Oaks.

The Dumbarton freight corridor runs across the southern San Francisco Bay, connecting Redwood City with Union City. The route once played an important role in regional rail service, but it is now in poor condition and underutilized.

Reimagine Dumbarton aims to identify opportunities for this corridor to connect residents with local community destinations, regional employment centers and the regional transportation network. Your feedback is essential. Get involved by taking the first online survey available now through March 6.

This is the first in a series of community surveys and will ask about your current travel habits, transportation challenges and barriers experienced along this portion of the corridor, and priorities for travel.
