Description: Participants will meet at the Petaluma Downtown SMART Station and be provided a scavenger hunt activity list of transit related items to photograph and transit questions to answer. Participants will make a loop on local transit and then regroup to announce the winners and hear from our speakers, Mayor Kevin McDonnell and Petaluma Transit Manager Maria Arce, on some transit related topics.  Some activities will take place near the SMART station and some as we are riding transit.  Volunteers will be available to help folks who are new to transit learn how to use it.
