Marin Transit offers older adults and people with disabilities a variety of options for getting around without driving. Whether you need to learn how to ride the fixed route bus or sign up for an alternative transportation service, we are here to help.
Marin Access participants are residents of Marin County that are age 65+ or are a person with a disability who cannot independently use regular Marin Transit or Golden Gate Transit bus service some or all of the time. As a participant of Marin Access, you'll gain access to the Catch-A-Ride pilot program, the STAR & TRIP Volunteer Driver programs, Travel Training, and for those that qualify, Marin Access Paratransit and the Marin Access Fare Assistance program.

2. MAFA Mobility Wallet: Enhancement of the Marin Access Fare Assistance (MAFA) program to offer an ongoing subsidy of up to $200 per month for use on a range of mobility providers to income qualified individuals via a mobility wallet.
3. Catch-A-Ride Transitional Program: A transitional program for current Catch-A-Ride pilot program riders who do not have income barriers including a limited duration monthly subsidy via a mobility wallet (up to $200 per month for six months).
