Changes to Golden Gate Transit Bus Routes and Paratransit Service as Identified in the Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Service (MASCOTS) Plan

Modifications to Golden Gate Transit bus routes are being implemented under the Marin-Sonoma Coordinated Transit Services (MASCOTS) Plan to enhance regional transit efficiency along the U.S. Highway 101 Corridor in Marin and Sonoma Counties, with changes scheduled to take effect in April 2026. The plan involves adjusting routing and schedules for Routes 101, 130, 132, 172, 580, and 580X while discontinuing service on Routes 150, 164, and 172X, all without increasing total annual bus service hours or vehicle miles traveled. The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District is the lead agency, with Amorette M. Ko-Wong serving as the primary point of contact. The project has been granted a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) based on findings that it presents no reasonable possibility of significant environmental impact, relying on specific provisions of the California Code of Regulations and Public Resources Code. The place of performance is limited to California, specifically the counties of Marin, Sonoma, and portions of San Francisco along the Highway 101 corridor, with no pricing, contract value, or formal contract type disclosed as the posting is a forecast with no solicitation or award details provided. Payment will be processed through the district’s designated remittance address in San Francisco, and while administrative oversight details are present, no contract administration personnel are formally designated as COR or COTR. There are no specified evaluation factors, delivery terms, inspection protocols, packaging requirements, or representations from offerors, and no formal attachments, clauses, or special requirements are included in the documentation. The absence of solicitation numbers, CLINs, funding codes, or procurement mechanisms indicates this is a planning and implementation notice rather than a competitively awarded contract, with all operational changes driven by regional transit planning objectives under CEQA compliance.
