Funding Partners
The construction project is jointly funded by Pierce County; Federal Highways Administration/Washington State Department of Transportation, Puget Sound Regional Council, Rural Town Centers and Corridors grant; Washington Recreation and Conservation Office WWRP trail grant; and a gracious donation from the Foothills Rails to Trails and the Coalition Puyallup Watershed Initiative Active Transportation community.
These agencies helped fund the construction of this corridor which is an integral part of the Foothills National Recreation Trail and the Pierce County Regional Trail system.
