Muir Woods Shuttle Marin Transit’s biggest need is for a centralized fixed route facility for maintenance, parking, and charging of zero-emission buses. This facility will support continued investment in electric buses, improve operational efficiency, increase competition for contracted service, and reduce long term risk.
Marin Transit has successfully acquired three small sites that provide bus parking, paratransit maintenance, and paratransit parking. However, these do not provide sufficient space to accommodate the full bus fleet nor to maintain fixed route vehicles or install sufficient electric bus charging to fulfill state mandates and Marin County’s sustainability goals.
Currently, Marin Transit operates fixed route, paratransit, and mobility management services under contracts with two providers. Marin Transit relies on these contractors for maintenance and storage facilities. This reliance undermines our ability to competitively attract a range of contractors.
Project Status & Timeline:
- Marin Transit received a $31.5 million Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant in 2023. The grant provides funding towards the $44.5 million project and an investment of $2.2 million in workforce development.
- In November 2024, Marin Transit purchased a 3.5 acre site at 1075 East Francisco Boulevard in San Rafael. The District is also developing an outreach plan for the project and the workforce development component. Learn more here.

San Rafael, CA (July 24, 2023) – On Friday, July 21 U.S. Congressman Jared Huffman and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Deputy Regional Administrator Amy Changchien visited Marin Transit to present the $31.5 million grant awarded to the agency funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to build a new electric transit bus facility.
“We made a promise to invest in America and rebuild our infrastructure to work better for everyday folks. Public transportation is a fundamental part of that equation, and these grants are going to help create a greener, more modern way to get people where they need to go,” said Rep. Huffman. “Another huge benefit of electrifying our region’s bus fleets is that every one of these clean electric buses is potentially a mobile generator to help communities respond to disasters and power outages. Clean energy is the future, and by investing in these buses we can supercharge our transition while improving lives, creating jobs, and reducing planet-killing emissions.”
