Santa Ynez River Trail Alignment Study
The purpose of the study is to identify potential alignments to inform the future development of a multimodal trail along the Santa Ynez River. There is local support for the development of a multimodal trail to connect the cities of Buellton and Solvang. Current conditions do not allow for a direct, safe route for bicyclists, pedestrians, or equestrians to travel between the two neighboring jurisdictions. The alignment study is the first step in the development of a multimodal trail. Ultimately, this study aims to highlight the opportunities, constraints, and estimated costs of the various alternatives for a river trail to allow for an informed decision in future alignment selection. This project will be managed by SBCAG staff but will be performed by consulting firm KTUA.

Regional Active Transportation Plan
The purpose of this plan is to create a regional vision for improving the bicycle and pedestrian network by integrating the bicycle and pedestrian planning of the region’s nine member governments. The plan is also intended to establish a base level of eligibility for funding through Active Transportation Program grants for projects in the plan area. The plan was adopted by the SBCAG Board in 2015.
