New late-afternoon and St. Hilary school-bus routes to launch this fall

The agency behind the Yellow Bus Challenge will introduce a pilot late-afternoon route next school year to bring Reed Union district students home from after-school programs and tutoring sessions.

The new route, unanimously approved by the newly renamed Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Alliance board May 2, will leave Bel Aire Elementary School at 4 p.m. and make five stops along Tiburon Boulevard before reaching Reed Elementary School. The bus will then make eight more stops on its return journey before heading out to Paradise Drive via Highway 101, dropping remaining riders in east Corte Madera and Paradise Cay.

It will be the day’s last service for the same bus used earlier in the afternoon to take home St. Hilary Catholic School students, another service that received unanimous approval at the meeting.

Alongside the route expansions, the agency recently announced its rebranding as the Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Alliance to better reflect its broader mission, though the Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Relief Joint Powers Agency, formed in 2016, remains its formal name.
