SIGN UP

Sign up to stay informed about progress towards a more connected community and to help build a lasting legacy along the scenic Santa Cruz County Coastal Rail Corridor.
​

The RTC has launched a study to choose a transit option for the rail corridor between Watsonville and Santa Cruz. The study will assess each transit alternative by scoring how it does on measures of Economy, Equity, and Environment. We believe rail scores best in all three areas.  We invite you to send an email to the RTC! Here are some suggested talking points:

• Rail attracts more riders than other proposed alternatives.
• Rail moves more people at peak commute, faster and for less money.
• Rail can have level boarding, letting bicycles, walkers, strollers, and wheelchairs roll on and off.
• Rail runs separately from street traffic and uses the corridor without interruption; buses can only use part of the corridor and would mostly run on streets and highways.
• Rail is the most energy-efficient.
• Rail uses our existing infrastructure and protects our public ownership of the rail corridor.
• Rail can get more funding as part of the larger state rail plan.

To see a summary of research on the use of rail transit, see the Rail Decision Matrix on the Discover page.
