Santa Cruz County is at a pivotal moment with two major grants on the line that together represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver both rail and trail. We have secured critical funding for each, and both are essential to building a complete transportation system for a healthy Santa Cruz County. Moving forward successfully means advancing these projects together, in parallel, with care and precision. But these opportunities are not guaranteed. Decisions made in the coming weeks wi

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
