SCR 94: CA Legislature Recognizes the Value of Cycling and Trails
California lawmakers introduce SCR 94 (Blakespear), California Mountain Biking and Trail Stewardship Month
CAMTB Delegate Team on the Senate Floor for the reading of SCR-94, with Co-Authors Senator Blakespear, Senator Jones, and Senator Choi. The legislation passed the Senate unanimously and is now moving on to the Assembly for consideration.
We are pleased to announce that California lawmakers have introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 94 (SCR 94), which recognizes the value of cycling and trails in California. The resolution was authored by Senator Catherine Blakespear (D), and co-authored by Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones (R), Sen Arreguín (D), Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (D), and Assemblymember Damon Connolly, (D). The bipartisan resolution, sponsored by CAMTB and California Trails Foundation (CATF), officially designates June 2025 as “California Mountain Biking & Trail Stewardship Month.” The resolution coincides with our 2nd state-wide celebration of the same name.
“We’re absolutely thrilled about the return and expanded focus of California Mountain Biking and Trail Stewardship Month. Our ability to experience California’s incredible natural beauty is so dependent on our trail infrastructure. It’s only right that we recognize, cherish, and protect these trails just as we do our environmental and cultural treasures. Having the legislature’s broad support via SCR 94 presents a fantastic opportunity to educate all Californians, including our lawmakers, about the numerous benefits of riding bikes on trails. It also lets us promote and celebrate mountain biking’s rich history, vibrant culture, and significant contributions to the Golden State.
Steve Messer, CAMTB Board President
The resolution is scheduled to be read on the Senate Floor on June 19, 2025. CAMTB’s delegate team, including its members of its Teen Ambassadors team, will be present to mark the occasion. CAMTB applauds Blakespear, Jones, Connolly and Pellerin for advancing this important resolution.
