California’s “Class IV Bikeway” bill passes Senate committee. California classifies bikeways into three categories: Class I (fully separated bike paths and MUPs), Class II (bike lanes on the road), and Class III (signed on-street bike routes with no specific engineering).

If you plan to get around using public transportation this Friday during the Independence Day holiday, be aware that most transportation agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Monterey Bay Region will operate on a holiday or Sunday schedule.

For Bay Area transit, visit 511 Bay Area July 4 Holiday Schedule information.
