  • Local Bus Service is Free for all Riders During the Marin County Fair! Marin Transit is bringing back our annual fare promotion offering free local transit rides county-wide on all Marin Transit local buses during the Fair, from July 1 - 5, 2026. Marin Access Paratransit, Marin Access Shuttles, and the Muir Woods Shuttle service are not included in the free fare promotion. Marin Transit will also provide additional service on the Route 35 and the Route 49 each night from Civic Center after the fireworks shows to ensure that riders have a smooth ride home. These trips will board on San Pedro Road near Civic Center Drive and depart around 10:00 PM. Heavy traffic and high parking demand means that transit is your best option to get to and from the Fair! Visit marintransit.gov/fair to learn more.
  • On July 2, 2026, Marin Access Paratransit will offer fare free service to enrolled riders traveling to the Marin County Fair’s low-sensory carnival on July 2 at 10:00 AM. The low-sensory carnival will feature rides without strobing lights or music; more information is available here.
