The STAR Action Team has updated the mission and vision to clarify some wording and ideas. The updated document is available on our documents page.

Mission

STAR advocates to increase ridership and to expand accountability of public transit in the Sacramento region by promoting efficient, affordable, safe, clean, and accessible service with optimized intermodal connectivity. We advocate for routes and service hours that serve the needs of those who depend on as long well as those who choose public transit, and provides a compelling alternative to car use.

Vision

• STAR envisions a regional transit system for Sacramento that:
• Attracts high ridership.
• Provides an efficient trip experience including one fare per destination.
• Provides internal integration so any bus & light rail connections are time-efficient, and provides adequate interface with foot, bike, and car modes of getting to bus & light rail stations.
• Provides easy connection to inter-region mass transit modes, such as Amtrak and long-range bus.
• Assures that public transit expansion initiative do not compromise existing services needed to meet the above-defined mission.
• Operates in a socially-responsible manner.
• Incorporates citizen input for decision-making, including having citizen representation on the Board of Directors
