Active Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan

,

Overview

Calaveras County is developing a countywide Active Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan to improve walking, bicycling, and trail connectivity.

Visit the project website for more information, including surveys and upcoming community meeting details.

Why This Plan Matters

Many rural communities in Calaveras County face barriers to:

  • Safe mobility
  • Access to goods and services
  • Health and wellness opportunities
  • Recreational connections

Improving bicycle, pedestrian, and trail infrastructure can:

  • Increase access to schools, parks, businesses, and services
  • Support public health and emotional well-being
  • Improve roadway safety
  • Promote equitable transportation options

What the Plan Will Include

The final plan will:

  • Identify priority pedestrian and bicycle improvements
  • Recommend multi-use trail connections
  • Propose safer roadway crossings
  • Include cost estimates for recommended projects
  • Identify potential funding sources and grant programs

Once complete, the plan will serve as a guidebook for future investment and implementation throughout the County.
