Cruz511 in Your Neighborhood Bike Maps

Cruz511 In Your Neighborhood was a pilot program designed to connect with people who are interested in leaving their car at home and making changes in their travel behavior. The Cruz511 In Your Neighborhood Bike Maps provide a neighborhood level of detail for the Central Watsonville and Eastside and Downtown Santa Cruz neighborhoods. RTC staff are seeking funding to provide maps for other neighborhoods in Santa Cruz County. At this time, the Eastside and Downtown Santa Cruz and Central Watsonville Bike Maps are only available online — printed copies are subject to funding availability.
