Friends of the Santa Ana River Trail
Friends of the Santa Ana River Trail is a volunteer community group involved in trail safety education, eco-friendly preservation and recreational multi-use of the Santa Ana River Trail system. Also, known as the Santa Ana River Bikeway, Santa Ana Bicycle Path and SART. Our goal is to encourage a high quality, family oriented trail system that blends an attractive mix of recreational amenities, neighborhood green space, and local cultural heritage allowing people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the pleasures of the Santa Ana River Trail in a fun and safe environment.
As Santa Ana River Trail advocates our community oriented goal has three main parts: 1) to enhance public safety of the Santa Ana River Trail through public education and volunteer community watch; 2) to encourage the socio-economic recreational use of the Santa Ana River Trail as a conduit for connecting local communities, neighborhoods, families, friends and workplaces together; and 3) to act as the Santa Ana River Trail Mediator resolving trail use disputes, complaints, and injury.
The Santa Ana River Trail spans over 120 miles through Orange,
Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The trail is one of the largest
non-motorized social boulevards in the United States. It is utilized
by school kids, workers, walkers, runners, bicyclists, horse
riders, bird watchers and its parks and open spaces are
social gathering places for kids, families and
communities.
Santa Ana River Trail - Trail Safety Mediation
Over the last several years, Santa Ana River Trail safety has become better with the posting of Trail Regulation signs and cleanup of homeless problem. However with a mixture of recreational users, runners, walkers, bicyclists, bike groups, and workplace commuters there are ongoing public safety and security concerns.
Enforcement of Santa Ana River Trail Codes and Bicycle Regulations is fragmented over many Local, State and Federal jurisdictions. Like most trail systems nationwide, the Santa Ana River Trail system and OC Parks does not have the daily manpower to watch over all aspects of trail use, code enforcement, public safety and public trail education.
In an effort to preserve everyone's individual rights, public safety, and trail security, the Friends of the Santa River Trail has established a SART Community Hotline to report incidents of public safety, personal injury, vandalism, security concerns, injury and disputes along the Santa Ana River Trail system. We are concerned about the increasing number of bike groups and bike ride events riding the SART. Many bicyclists and bicycle groups are using the SART as a speed track. Please report all bike groups who are violating the SART Trail Regulations.
Your community support is needed to ensure the safety and security for all Santa Ana River Trail users. We have established a Trail Safety Mediation Center to handle the resolution of disputes, complaints and conflict of interests involving the Santa Ana River Trail.
