CITY OF SAN MARCOS
Stuck in traffic and you don’t know why? Welcome to San Marcos where desperados waiting on a train can be a song drivers listen to as well as a local pastime. In an effort to help navigate the city more effectively, the city of San Marcos created SMTX GO, a new real-time map that can be accessed online with live traffic information. This includes train crossing closures, construction, water crossing closures and plenty more.
SMTX Go is a comprehensive map that brings together critical transportation resources in one user-friendly interface. From real-time bus track- ing to live traffic camera feeds, SMTX Go provides up-to-date data, allowing users to make informed decisions while navigating the city.
'Our aim is to give residents and visitors the tools they need to navigate the city efficiently, whether they are walking, biking, riding a bus, or using scooters,' said Director of Public Works Sabas Avila. 'SMTX Go provides a complete, real-time snapshot of the transportation options available, so users can make the best choice for their trip.'
Key features of SMTX Go include, real-time bus tracking, railroad crossing closures, live traffic camera video feeds, Spin scooter locations, flashing traffic signal statuses, Sidewalk locations and closure updates, bike lane locations and closure updates, low water crossing closures, EV charging station locations, and Waze traffic conditions and incident reports.
Developed initially by the City's Public Works Department to manage vehicular traffic, SMTX Go was adapted to support a wide range of transportation modes. By including not only vehicular data but also information for walking, biking, scooters, and public transit, SMTX Go offers a full picture of San Marcos’ multi-modal transportation network.
SMTX Go is accessible at https://smtxgo.sanmarcostx. gov from any smartphone or computer.
