Bus and Route Configuration

In 2023/24 Marin Transit will contract with Bauer's Intelligent Transportation, Inc. for four buses to provide 16 routes to White Hill Middle School, Hidden Valley Elementary and Ross Valley Charter. 14 of these routes serve WHMS. In the morning, demand is spread between the 0 and 1^st periods which allows for the re-use of the buses for multiple routes. In the afternoon, however, all of the WHMS students are released at the same time. In order to serve the same number of students in the afternoon as the morning, buses return to campus after completing a first route. We understand that these routes after the buses return to campus are the least desirable routes due to their late departure from school. Unfortunately, it is the only way that we can increase the supply of available seats with the four buses under contract.

The program is funded through a combination of pass sales revenue and contributions from Measure AA (via Marin Transit), County of Marin, Town of San Anselmo, and Town of Fairfax. In order for a bus to be added to the contract an additional $150,000 in subsidy would need to be raised in addition to the revenue contributed through pass sales. Although all of our contributors have increased their shares for FY 23, additional funding is not available and we will not be able to add a fifth bus to the contract for the 2023/24 school year.
