Trails 2035 Strategic Plan
Mount Diablo Trails Alliance (MDTA) is proud to announce Trails 2035 - our community-focused strategic plan designed to achieve Better Trails | Greater Access for all trail user groups at Mount Diablo State Park.
Over the next 10 years, our four goals, ranked by estimated funding requirements:
Propose and secure an additional 15 miles of singletrack trails for multi-use bike friendly designation through the change-in-use (CIU) process
Propose and support the construction of two ADA (American with Disabilities Act)-compliant, adaptive friendly trails
Service 50 miles of singletrack trails through trail maintenance events (Dig Days)
Launch Responsible Recreation education program and advocacy
To be successful, Trails 2035 requires a vital fundraising drive powered by charitable donations from people like you.
Trails 2035 goals are based on fulfilling the policy recommendations of the 2016 Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP) for Mount Diablo State Park.
The 2016 RTMP was a stakeholder-driven mandate to address and adapt to evolving trail user needs, including greater trail access opportunities for off-road cyclists and persons with disabilities or accessibility challenges.
The trail network at Mount Diablo State Park has not kept pace with these evolving trail user needs. With Trails 2035, Mount Diablo Trails Alliance aims to be part of the solution, helping Mount Diablo State Park become that beacon for balancing conservation and recreation.
Your Charitable Donations Will Support
Trails 2035 will not succeed without community funding, especially given the costs associated with the multi-year Better Trails | Greater Access goals and related projects.
Project cost examples include:
Rare plant surveys for trail maintenance in sensitive species, change-in-use (CIU), and new trail construction
CEQA studies (California Environmental Quality Act) for CIU and new trail construction
Construction services and materials for trail modifications or reroutes related to CIU
Construction services and materials related to the building of ADA-compliant, adaptive friendly trails
