Marin Transit has initiated a survey seeking feedback about the Marin Access Catch-A-Ride pilot program. This is part of the District's efforts to evaluate the pilot program and identify potential program improvements. The survey is available in English and Spanish. Riders who complete the survey will be entered into a raffle to win a set of 3 $20 vouchers for use on the Catch-A-Ride pilot program (total value of $60!) The survey will close on March 29, 2024 and is for current Catch-A-Ride pilot program riders only. 

Visit this link to complete the survey. For assistance or to complete the survey by phone, Catch-A-Ride pilot program riders should contact the Travel Navigator team at (415) 454-0902 (select language option and then option 1 for Travel Navigators). 

Marin Transit has initiated a survey seeking feedback from current riders and those in need of expanded mobility options in West Marin, especially residents that are older adults and/or those with disabilities. This is part of the District's continued efforts to improve service, find ways to better serve residents of West Marin, and build upon existing data and previous feedback collected from community partners and other stakeholders as part of the Marin Access Innovation Incubator program. 

Feedback collected through this survey will allow Marin Transit to improve existing programs such as Stagecoach Route 61 or Route 68, the Marin Access Shuttle program, the TRIP volunteer driver program, and consider offering new programs to better serve community members in West Marin. The survey is available in English and Spanish and offers those that complete it to enter a raffle to win one of three $100 Amazon Gift Cards. We anticipate closing the survey March 29, 2024, but may extend the date based on responses received. 

Effective Sunday, January 14, 2024, Marin Transit will be making minor schedule changes to the following routes: 

• Route 17 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 22 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 29 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 35 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 49 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 71 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)
• Route 219 (schedule eff. 1/14/24)

These changes will help improve service reliability and account for changes in roadway traffic patterns. 

In addition to schedule adjustments, Route 17 will no longer serve the Lucky Bus Pad as part of its regular route. Late night trips that serve Larkspur Landing on Route 17 will continue to serve Lucky Bus Pad in the northbound direction only. These new schedules will remain effective thru the Spring and Summer. The next scheduled service change will occur on August 11, 2024.

Marin Transit is currently studying our fare collection system and seeking input from riders. The survey is open until October 27, 2023.
