The Measure B Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) passed by Marin County voters in 2010 is coming up for a 10-year review. The review process was moved to this year due to the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Measure B contributes approximately $2.3M to help fund a variety of transportation projects and programs in Marin County.

The review process was initiated at the Citizens’ Oversight Committee meeting on May 16 and is expected to continue each month through September. A 45-day comment period will be opened once the review is presented to the TAM Board of Commissioners targeted for early 2023.

The following meeting schedule has been developed. Agendas and materials will be posted on the Calendar Page of the website at least 72 hours in advance of each meeting.
