San Rafael bridges the gap between San Francisco and Sonoma County. It also serves as the connection between the East Bay with all Marin jurisdictions.
San Rafael is home to the San Rafael Transit Center, which serves as the regional transportation hub for Marin County. Consisting of bus, taxi, rail, and airporter services, the Transit Center connects San Rafael and Marin residents with San Francisco and nearby counties.
San Rafael also has expansive bicycle and pedestrian pathways, with more miles of multi-use paths than any other city in Marin County.
