https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wmweb
Background: Marin Transit is seeking feedback from current riders and those in need of expanded mobility options in West Marin, especially older adults and those with disabilities. Marin Transit has initiated a rider survey to collect feedback from riders. Feedback collected through this survey will allow us to improve existing programs such as the Stagecoach Route 61 or 68, the Marin Access Shuttle program, the TRIP volunteer driver program, and consider offering new programs to better serve community members in West Marin. Your feedback is important! Make sure to click through to the end of the survey to be entered in the raffle to win one of three $100 Amazon Gift Cards.
For assistance or to complete the survey by phone, contact the Travel Navigators at (415) 454-0902 (select language option and then option 1 for Travel Navigators).
Let's see about getting back the West Marin Stagecoach between Bolinas and Point Reyes Station!

The CPUC website has a tab marked Public Comment
Background:
ATT is asking California Public Utilities Commission to approve two Applications: one would allow them to Withdraw its Eligible Telecommunications Carrier Designation and the second is to give Relief from its Carrier of Last Resort Obligation. If the CPUC approves these requests, then ATT would be free to cease landline/DSL internet services in most rural areas of California, including Bolinas and surrounding lands.
Online comments and letters about these two Applications must be received before March 19 and may be sent to the CPUC by going online here:
