Marin Access Enrollment Process

Exciting changes are coming to the Marin Access enrollment process starting November 1, 2024!

Marin Access is piloting an updated enrollment process to better serve applicants and riders. The updated process features a shorter intake form followed by a phone or virtual interview to allow Travel Navigators to provide personalized recommendations based on your needs. 

 

Updated Enrollment Process

 

Key Info

  • The intake form is designed to collect basic information about your needs and can be completed by phone, online, or submitted via email or US Mail. 
  • Applicants can submit documentation along with their intake form. 
  • After the intake form is submitted, a Travel Navigator will review the information provided and follow up with the applicant or their preferred delegate (typically a friend, family member, or social worker) within two business days to schedule the interview. 
  • All applicants will be required to complete an interview. Interviews will take approximately thirty minutes and will provide plenty of time for applicants to ask questions about the programs and services recommended to them. 
  • Once the interview is complete, applicants will receive an intake packet that identifies required documentation and details next steps. 
  • Applicants should collect required documentation and submit to the Travel Navigators. An application is considered incomplete until the interview is completed and all required documentation is received. 
  • When all documentation is received the review process starts. A Travel Navigator will review the application as a whole and make a determination of eligibility. The review process can take up to 21 days. 
  • Following the eligibility determination, a welcome packet will be sent to the applicant via email or US Mail that details what they are enrolled for. Enrolled riders will receive a welcome call and can use this time to ask questions about how to use Marin Access programs and services. 

All applications received on November 1, 2024 or later will be subject to the new enrollment process.
