The Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway (FORTAG) is proposed as
a 30-mile regional network of paved recreational trails and greenways connecting communities to open space.

FORTAG will facilitate active transportation - expanding our region's opportunities for traveling between home, work, and commercial areas
by foot, bike, or wheelchair.

FORTAG is part of the larger effort to address climate change by reducing vehicle miles travelled under the Monterey County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the California Climate Action Plan for Transportation
Infrastructure (CAPTI) .
