The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) has announced plans to initiate construction on the SURF! Busway, coinciding with the termination of the sub-lease with Marina Handcar Tours. The agency's Board of Directors recently convened in a closed session to deliberate on this and other vital matters related to the Monterey Branch Line. The SURF! Busway project is pivotal in enhancing public transportation options, aiming to improve connectivity for both locals and tourists.
Officials believe that this development will alleviate traffic congestion and streamline transit routes in the region. With increasing emphasis on sustainable transportation, the agency is prioritizing projects that promote public transport usage. The transition from Handcar Tours to the busway marks a significant shift in local transportation strategy. As construction begins, the community is encouraged to stay informed about progress and potential impacts. This initiative reflects TAMC's ongoing commitment to advancing infrastructure and transportation solutions in Monterey County.
