Founded in 2002, Santa Cruz County Friends of the Rail & Trail is an all volunteer non-profit organization that advocates for transforming the 32-mile Coastal Rail Corridor into a trail and rail transit system that increases choice, reduces environmental impact, and supports a vital economy. Together, we work to raise awareness and catalyze our community by: 
  • Encouraging residents to express their opinions to decision-makers in writing and in person 
  • Educating the public, agency staff and elected officials
  • Partnering with other local and regional nonprofits
