Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Alliance budget includes $52K to preserve two crossing-guard locations

The joint-powers agency that oversees school-bus service is projecting a $147,000 surplus in its fiscal 2026-2027 budget, even as it keeps bus-pass prices steady for Reed Union School District students and spends some $52,000 to fund two crossing-guard positions that would otherwise lose county funding.

The Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Alliance board of directors voted unanimously at its April 14 special meeting to approve the fiscal 2026-2027 budget, which projects expenditures just north of $1 million against anticipated revenue of $1.15 million. The new fiscal year begins July 1.

Tiburon Vice Mayor Isaac Nikfar was absent, and Town Manager Greg Chanis voted as Tiburon’s alternate representative.

The approved budget reflects a notable shift in how the program is funded: For the first time, neither Tiburon nor Belvedere contributed to the traffic alliance’s costs in the current year, leaving the Reed Union School District to cover the full $690,000 it had been expected to share with the two municipalities. The current adopted budget had anticipated $20,000 from Belvedere and $45,000 from Tiburon as part of that figure.
