  • Authority

    CA Government Code Section 93000-93005 The North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) was formed in 1989 by the California Legislature under the North Coast Railroad Authority Act, Government Code Sections 93000, et seq . The Act was intended to ensure continuation of railroad service in Northwestern California and envisioned the railroad playing a significant role in the transportation infrastructure serving a vital part of the State that suffers from restricted access and limited transport options. CA Government Code Section 93000 – 93030 Great Redwood Trail Agency Act became effective March 1, 2022 and replaced the North Coast Railroad Authority Act. The Great Redwood Trail Agency (GRTA) is charged with developing and managing the Great Redwood Trail and discharging the duties of a rail common carrier before the Surface Transportation Board. The GRTA’s service area is the former NCRA rail corridor in Mendocino, Trinity, and Humboldt Counties.
