A new Civil Grand Jury report reframes Santa Cruz County's 40-year corridor fight: the failure wasn't choosing between rail and trail, but making generational decisions without grounding them in engineering and financial reality.

SCWorks members strongly supported the RTC’s Interim Trail decision. In the no-email survey, 85.6% voted yes and 14.4% no. With email required, support rose to 95.9% yes and 4.1% no overall, showing consistent member backing.

The RTC’s proposed $4.28B rail project is financially unrealistic, serving few riders at high cost. Cheaper, flexible alternatives like e-pods on a greenway trail offer smarter, scalable transit without misleading voters or bankrupting taxpayers.
