Santa Cruz Zero Emission Passenger Rail and Trail
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Zero Emission Passenger Rail and Trail (ZEPRT) Project Milestone 3 Virtual Open House.
The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) is providing information on the ongoing development of the ZEPRT Project Concept Report and in response to community feedback received during Milestone 2 in summer 2024.
The purpose of this Virtual Open House is to provide updates on rail and trail alignment options in development, project funding opportunities, ridership modeling approach, stations, bridge structures, and noise impacts. Your feedback will help us identify community needs and areas for improvement in the development of the Santa Cruz Branch Rail Line and Coastal Rail Trail Segments 13-20 as well as the Capitola Trestle reach (Segment 11, Phase 2). The RTC is requesting community feedback by December 20, 2024.
