"Traffic is a nightmare. Climate change is getting worse. And our county is segregated by that 20-mile parking lot we call Highway 1." That's how Wednesday's launch of our Summer of Action to Save the Tracks opened, and it set the tone for one of the best rallies we've had.

At the Rail & Trail Festival, Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley reminded us that big projects come with big visions. Quoting transportation leader Rob Diridon, he spoke about how we can’t let large price tags scare us away — projects like rail aren’t built for the next five years,

Everyone out walking, biking, and rolling makes you realize how close we really are. The Rail & Trail connects more than places, it connects us. #RailAndTrail

Another trip on the trail. Where are you headed? #RailAndTrail

This is Lenox Street. Tracks down the middle, cars parked alongside, people biking through. It's called a streetcar track. Having rail, cars, cyclists, and pedestrians all share the same space is more common than you'd think. And it works. #RailAndTrail

Felipe Hernandez closed out his remarks at the Rail & Trail Festival with a simple message — sí se puede. We have momentum, we have community support, and we have a once-in-a-generation chance to build a system that works for everyone.

Bikes packed at the farmers market. Metro rolling through. Not everyone needs to drive. They just need options. #RailAndTrail
