State Route 37
Where east meets west in the North Bay.
37 is an east-west highway along the north shore of the San Pablo Bay that connects U.S. 101 in Novato with Interstate 80 in Vallejo.
A peak commute corridor.
An average of 47,000 vehicles use Highway 37 daily. Commuters travel across counties from affordable residential communities to job centers.
A key route for commerce and industry.
Commercial travelers use this critical route, too — over 13,000 trucks every day.
Important for the regional economy.
Highway 37 is an important transportation link for the Bay Area’s economy. Without 37, travelers would have to drive twice as far to get from Novato to Vallejo, leading to supply chain problems and price increases.
Highway 37 is at risk from rising waters.
The route faces closures from flooding and sea level rise.
What can be done to protect Highway 37?
Studies are underway to find a fix that is cost-effective, efficient for drivers and protects the environment.
Many partners working together.
MTC and BATA are working with Caltrans, the Napa Valley Transportation Authority, the Solano Transportation Authority, the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Authority of Marin and others to plan for the future.
