Monthly Monitoring Reports
Interested in how Marin Transit services are doing? Monthly monitoring reports are one method Marin Transit uses to
track and evaluate route and service perfomance. Service planning decisions are based on a combination of
service planning goals and performance criteria, including those based on the transit performance measures

Completed Projects
Marin Transit hired Transit Marketing LLC to complete a marketing study. The
plan development started with a marketing baseline inventory and identification of our market research needs.
The consultant then conducted of stakeholder interviews and two focus groups with current and potential riders.
Based on this information, the plan recommends short, medium, and long term strategies, passenger information materials
and signage, and an advertising campaigns. The plan also provides a budget
with cost estimates for each aspect of the plan, along with an implementation timeline.
final plan
Marin Transit, in partnership with Marin County Department of Health and Human Services, managed a study on strategies to provide enhanced
taxi services for social service and public paratransit programs for residents of Marin County. The study was funded
by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) as a case study to provide results for use by other counties in the region.

Marin Transit looked at ways to improve the Route 259 to better serve Marinwood/Terra Linda residents. Marin Transit had over 200 respondents
to an online survey and held two community meetings. Based on this information, Marin Transit has decided to keep the route
unchange but focus on increased marketing of this route. Ridership on this route is low but it is attacting a higher
percentage of seniors than our other shuttle routes. The current online survey
is aimed at gathering planning level data on where potential riders want to travel on the shuttle. Based on this information,
Marin Transit will consider making changes to the shuttle in Summer/Spring 2007. Look for a community meeting in March/April to hear the
results of the survey and give feedback on any new proposals.
