WalkBikeMarin is an initiative by the County of Marin to help make Marin more healthy, livable, and environmentally sustainable by encouraging walking and bicycling as everyday transportation. This initiative was catalyzed by a recent $25 million federal grant to fund the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP). The goal of the WalkBikeMarin website is to provide information about all the County’s bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs in one place. For more information on the NTPP see the About the Project page.

How often do you walk?
I walk about 11 miles a week, mainly around the San Rafael downtown area, to get to work, and to run errands and for recreation.

What would help you walk and bike more?
My favorite walk ever was a hike, to the elk reserve, but I don’t hike as much as I would like to. If I could find a group of people to go hiking with, it would help me walk and hike more.

Why is walking important to you?
Walking is an ideal form of commuting to and from work, because it provides me with the opportunity to get in shape while commuting, it helps my overall attitude and reduces commute cost!

Upcoming Meeting:

Tamalpais/Hetherton Corridor (Central San Rafael) Improvements Community Workshop 

The City of San Rafael is hosting a community workshop to discuss bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the Tamalpais/Hetherton Corridor in central San Rafael.  The workshop will be held in September, date to be announced shortly.  This area is a key link in the North-South Greenway and faces many challenges as it traverses a major east-west corridor in the county, is adjacent to the San Rafael Transit Center, and is subject to heavy traffic volumes.  There are two distinct segments in this corridor as funded by the NTPP:  the Puerto Suello Path-to-Transit Center connector to the north and the Mahon Creek path-to-Transit Center connector to the south. 

 See the Events Page for these upcoming events:

- "Basic Street Skills" Bicycle Riding Courses for Adults

- Intersection Safety Training Workshop

A bicyclist can easily cover a mile in four minutes, a pedestrian in 15.
