Bay Area Trails Collaborative Trail Talk – Beyond Cost Per Mile: Understanding Trail Costs

Estimating the cost of a trail is rarely as simple as a price per mile — material types, site conditions, prevailing wage, and inflation all shape what a project will actually cost. Join the Bay Area Trails Collaborative for a Trail Talk featuring a trail manager, designer, and contractor who will utilize two case studies to share their perspectives on cost estimating philosophy, breaking down project components, and avoiding scope gaps from planning through construction. Whether you’re sourcing unit prices, interviewing contractors, preparing bid documents, or navigating funding requirements, you’ll leave with practical tools and real-world insights to build more accurate estimates.

Introducing – State Legislative Salon

RTC wants to make sure you are equipped with the knowledge and resources to achieve policy wins for walking, biking and trails in your state. During peak legislative season for state legislatures across the country, these casual, 30-minute sessions are an opportunity to compare notes and best practices with like-minded organizations from other states and workshop policy and advocacy ideas for this year’s sessions.
