What? • Add a signed, ADA-accessible bus stop at the Margaret Todd Senior Center (MTSC) on Hill Road in Novato. • Divert selected weekday Route 49 bus trips via Hill Road. • Focus service on approximately 9 am – 3 pm • Maintain the existing Route 49 route during peak commute periods. Why? • Marin County is one of the fastest aging counties. • Novato is the 2nd largest city in the county and 24% of its residents are 65+. • Access to senior-serving programs should not depend only on private vehicles, family or friends, or ride-share transportation. • A bus stop at MTSC should complement - not replace – Marin Access. Why Route 49? It's an established all-day route, serves downtown, & connects to other routes. How? Plan – Confirm the location, survey the community, and perform detailed analysis of the schedule and runtime. Operate – Begin a limited pilot and conduct targeted outreach within the community. Evaluate – Assess results at 6- and 12-months then determine next steps.
