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
under Measure A.

Planning Projects
Marin Transit has hired Transit Marketing LLC to complete a marketing study. The first task of the
plan is conducting a marketing baseline inventory and identifying our market research needs. The second consists
of stakeholder interviews and two focus groups with current and potential riders. In the development of the plan,
the consultant will recommend short, medium, and long term strategies, passenger information materials and signage,
a public information and public relations campaign, and an advertising campaign. The plan will provide a budget
with detailed cost estimates for each aspect of the plan, along with an implementation timeline.
Marin Transit, in partnership with Marin County Department of Health and Human Services, will manage a study on strategies to provide enhanced taxi services for social service and
public paratransit programs for residents of Marin County. The study is funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) as a case
study to provide results for use by other counties in the region. IBI was awarded a contract to conduct the study in November 2006. Marin Transit expects to
complete the study in Summer 2007.
Completed Projects
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.
