Tahoe’s outdoors are iconic, and responsible recreation ensures it stays that way. Our work helps people experience Tahoe in ways that preserve nature and help communities thrive.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Sustainable Recreation and Transportation
Whether it’s building bike trails and shuttle systems that reduce vehicle use, or trailhead upgrades to improve parking and signage, we help people enjoy Tahoe without losing what makes it special.
Sustainable Recreation
Lake Tahoe is a world-class recreation destination where wilderness, shorelines, and resorts offer experiences for all. With millions of annual visitors driving a $5 billion economy, partners are uniting to protect natural resources and ensure sustainable recreation that supports both community well-being and environmental stewardship.
Transportation Program
We’re transforming our transportation system to meet rising travel demand and reduce congestion. Over the next decade, EIP partners will connect communities through expanded transit, new bike and pedestrian paths, and smarter travel technologies, creating a coordinated, sustainable network that links people to destinations across the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Sustainable recreation equals exploring responsibly.
Tahoe’s natural beauty is iconic, but it’s also vulnerable to impacts from high levels of use. We’re linking outdoor recreation areas to transit and trail networks so it’s easier to reach Tahoe’s favorite places without a car. Sustainable infrastructure upgrades protect the environment and strengthen the region’s $5 billion recreation economy.
