Bay Trail Grants: Overview

The Bay Trail Grant Program offers competitive grants to local governments, special districts and qualified nonprofit groups to build or design new Bay Trail segments. The program is structured to:

Speed Bay Trail Construction - by targeting high-priority, ready-to-build sections and closing critical gaps

Leverage State Dollars - with significant matching funds and in-kind contributions

Foster Partnership - by encouraging cooperative partnerships and creative design solutions

Employ the California Conservation Corps (CCC) - for construction, landscaping and maintenance where possible

To date, four State appropriations have funded approximately 50 Bay Trail construction and planning projects, in all nine Bay Area counties:

Year/ Amount/ Source
2001/ $7.5 million/ Proposition 12, Park and Open Space Bond
2000/ $2.5 million/ General Fund
1998/ $1 million/ General Fund
1997/ $200,000/ General Fund
