The Santa Cruz Coastal Rail Trail
An east-west corridor for non-motorized transport

For the past few months the Hub has taken a lead role in forming the friends of the rail trail group. The Hub's coordinator for this project, Bill Le Bon, has worked with and organized local citizens, businesses and transportation agencies to clear the way for this project's success.

Friends of the Santa Cruz County Rail Trail meet the first Sunday of each month at 6pm at the Hub.

To be on an e-mail list for The Friends group, go to http://www.scwalkandroll.com and sign up to the discussion list. To post a message to the list you need to sign up first.

The lead public agency for this project is the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC). Get the fact about what they're up to at: http://www.sccrtc.org/factsht.html.
