When Tulare County voters passed Measure R, the expenditure plan funds includes money for transit, bike, and environmental projects. The Santa Fe Trail will link Tulare and Visalia with a multi-use commuter and recreational trail following the historic Santa Fe Railroad corridor.
The City of Tulare has completed its portion of the trail which now terminates at Prosperity Avenue, and the City of Visalia is currently developing its portion of the trail which will be built from Tulare Avenue to Avenue 272. This portion of the Santa Fe Trail, which runs through the unincorporated portion of Tulare County, will close the gap between Prosperity Avenue and Avenue 272, and is being led by the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG).
