Our Trail Watch program is now in full swing! We are asking all interested volunteers to consider choosing a night to make a commitment to being a scheduled weekly Trail Watcher.  As we continue our season of Trail Watch rides in the Greenway, we have the greatest need for weekly committed Trail Watch volunteers, but we’d love to have anyone involved, even for a single night .  With your help we can make the Greenway a safe place, day and night.

 

SCHEDULED TRAIL WATCH

 

Scheduled Trail Watchers are people who fill out a volunteer application form and ride the Greenway on scheduled shifts, working in conjunction with police and other scheduled Trail Watchers on the group ride. Trail Watchers do not intervene in incidents they come across in the Greenway, rather they're a friendly presence on the trail and report criminal or intimidating behaviors that are noticed during the shift. 

 

AS-YOU-GO TRAIL WATCH 

As-you-go Trail Watchers are citizens and community members who watch the Midtown Greenway whenever they happen to be using it, and make a commitment to call 911 to report any suspected criminal activity they see.  

INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Total incentives for Trail Watchers by number of rides attended are as follows:

Thanks to our sponsors for their donations to the incentive program!  We'd especially like to thank Wells Fargo for their $1,100 grant to continue development of our Trail Watch program.
