Richmond-San Rafael Forward

Changes are afoot on the Richmond-San Rafael (RSR) Bridge. Improvements include infrastructure changes and programs to support crossing the bridge by bicycle.

RSR Open Road Tolling and I-580 Westbound HOV Lane

The RSR open road tolling and I-580 westbound HOV lane provide safety and operational improvements on westbound I-580 approaching the RSR Bridge by:

• Converting one of the three existing general-purpose lanes to a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, beginning at the I-580 / Regatta Avenue Interchange
• Replacing the existing tolling structure with overhead toll gantries east of the existing toll booths

RSR Rides

The RSR Rides program concluded in May, 2024.

The program was designed to support local community organizations and bicycle retailers who led group bike and e-bike rides on the RSR Bridge during peak periods. All rides began from within a quarter mile of a high-frequency transit stop (such as a BART station). Rides included bike education and safety, and offered opportunities to try riding e-bikes.

Partners included Bike East Bay, the Marin County Bicycle Coalition and Rich City Rides.
