Mill Valley Council, School District to Establish Pilot School Bus Program

The following is a news release from the City of Mill Valley:

The Mill Valley City Council on Tuesday night unanimously expressed support for a targeted two-year yellow school bus pilot program, as well as the City’s commitment to partially fund the pilot program, as part of a comprehensive effort to reduce traffic in and around town.

The proposal, for which Mill Valley School District parents expressed widespread support in a 2015 survey, calls for a partnership between the City, the District, the County of Marin and Marin Transit to implement a school bus pilot project that seeks to reduce traffic congestion and travel times along Mill Valley’s two main arteries of East Blithedale and Miller avenues.

A school bus pilot program was one of a number of recommendations from the City’s Traffic and Congestion Reduction Advisory Task Force, which held a number of data-driven, solutions-oriented meetings in the latter part of 2015 and will continue focusing on the larger traffic problem in early 2016.
