Bay Area County Studies US 101 Bus Lane Pilot Program
Marin Independent Journal reports, “Bus riders could cut their morning commute time through an often-congested section of Highway 101 in Marin by nearly half if a proposed $7 million transit-only lane is created, according to a new study. The Transportation Authority of Marin, which conducted the study, is considering a pilot program to allow public buses to use the highway shoulder and merging lanes [on a part-time basis] along a nearly 10-mile stretch of southbound Highway 101 between Novato and San Rafael to bypass traffic jams.” The article notes that similar transit lanes have been approved or are under consideration in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, and “are being explored at a statewide level.” (Link inserted by TRN)
