Dumbarton Forward

Dumbarton Forward aims to limit traffic congestion during peak periods in the State Route 84-Dumbarton Bridge-Bayfront Expressway corridor between Interstate 880 in Fremont and Marsh Road in Menlo Park.

Dumbarton Forward encourages commuters to use transit instead of driving in personal vehicles, which improves commute times for all travelers in the area.

Dumbarton Forward Strategies

Part-Time Bus-Only Lane

A multi-year pilot to allow authorized bus operators to bypass peak period congestion, resulting in improved transit reliability.

Traffic Signal Improvements

Bayfront Expressway intersection improvements, including transit signal priority, dedicated bus signals and an adaptive traffic signal system to reduce delays at the intersections.

Transit Improvements

Improve bus service on transbay routes - AC Transit, Stanford and Union City Transit.

Bike Access Improvements

To improve safety and connectivity for bicyclists, these improvements focus on completing critical gaps in existing bicycle networks along the corridor.
