Requiring city, county and regional cooperation, the Bay Trail marked its 20th year in 2009 with 293 miles so far open to hikers, bicyclists, joggers and walkers.

Though Lockyer was nominally honored as "father" of the Bay Trail, his name appears only on a footbridge in one East Bay section.

When finished, the Bay Trail will extend over 500 miles (805 km) to link the shoreline of nine counties, passing through 47 cities and crossing seven toll bridges.

The Bay Trail is a collaboration between elected officials, government agencies, private companies, non-profit organizations, advocacy groups and the public to increase access to the edge of the bay.

The Bay Trail provides access to points of historic, natural and cultural interest, and to numerous recreational areas, including over 130 parks.

The Bay Trail consists of paved paths, gravel trails, bike lanes or sidewalks.

The Bay Trail is an interconnected trail system that links parks, open spaces, points of interest, and communities on or near the bay shoreline.

Sections of the Bay Trail exist in all nine Bay Area counties.

The plan includes the trail alignment, project goals, policies and implementation strategies for the Bay Trail.
