RTMP Update

Key Facts

Project Update: Marin Water has begun the process to update their 2005 Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP) to better meet todays needs including expanded recreational access for bikes.

Benefits of the Project

Bike access in the Mt. Tam watershed has been debated for decades  – but the newly underway update to the Roads & Trails Management Plan (RTMP) update is our best chance yet to secure permanent bike-legal trails in MMWD policy.

What You Can Do

Marin Water has launched an online interactive map to explore trails that are currently being evaluated for potential use changes within the watershed. Check it out here.
