The Coast-to-Coast Trail (C2C) is a 253 mile continuous multi-use trail across the state of Florida that is currently under construction. [1]

Contents

As of May 2025, the trail is 88% complete. [2] The majority of the unfinished trail is along Florida State Road 50. [3] The trail will provide a path connecting the Gulf of Mexico, particularly St. Petersburg, on peninsular Florida's west coast to the Atlantic Ocean, particularly Titusville, on Florida's east coast. [4]

Funding

The Coast-to-Coast trail is funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), specifically the Shared-Use Non-motorized (SUN) Trail Program, which is funded by new vehicle tags. [5]

Legislation funding the trail with $50 million was vetoed in 2013 by Governor Rick Scott in 2013. [6] Legislation in support of the planned trail passed the Florida House of Representatives in April 2014 and would fund it with $15.5 million. [6] Florida State Senator Andy Gardiner of Orlando is one of the plan's leading supporters. The funding would be used close gaps in the trail route. The estimated cost of the project is $45 million.
