Countywide Transportation Plan - Survey Now Open!

Dear Community Members,
The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is actively developing a Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) outlining strategies for advancing safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation improvements. As part of this effort, understanding community challenges and priorities is vital to creating a Plan that truly reflects our community’s needs. We invite you to share your perspective by taking part in a brief, 5-minute survey. Feedback will be used to guide our planning and decision-making processes, helping us to better serve you and the entire Marin community.

Take The Survey Now!

Your participation is encouraged, and your impact will be significant. The survey will remain open until May 31. Feel free to forward this invitation to any friends, family, or colleagues who may also wish to provide their input.
Thank you for helping us make Marin County a better place to live, work, and travel!

Attend the Bellam Boulevard Workshop! May 29 at 5:30 PM
The Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) is planning to improve access from US-101 to I-580 and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Currently, drivers have to exit the freeway to access I-580 and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, causing traffic on Bellam Boulevard (San Rafael) and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard (Larkspur).

Join TAM for a public workshop devoted to identifying community needs and usage patterns for the Bellam Boulevard corridor. This workshop is an opportunity for you to share your insights and give input on future transportation needs in your community. The workshop will include an informational presentation followed by small group discussions.
Please feel free to share this invitation with friends, family, and colleagues who may also be interested in helping to shape the Bellam Boulevard area.
