This event has passed. A recording of the event is coming soon!

In partnership with Petaluma Transit, Urban Chat is pleased to host a Know Before You Grow community workshop on the basic elements of transit planning, the climate importance of transit, and to gather feedback on  on service changes that went into effect on August 10 and the possible future January 2027 service changes.

Petaluma Transit provides fare-free fixed-route, paratransit, and on-demand microtransit services, connecting residents, visitors, and regional partners throughout the City of Petaluma and beyond.

As the agency stabilizes service in response to changing financial realities, it is also launching innovative solutions such as citywide microtransit Access by LumaGo while planning for the future.

Join Transit Manager Maria Arce for a behind-the-scenes look at how Petaluma Transit is balancing immediate service needs with long-term planning, community engagement, regional coordination, and a shared vision for the future of transit.
