I would recommend that you contact the City of San Carlos, Department of Parks and Recreation. They would have knowledge of grant sources and may wish to manage a similar effort.

San Jose's helmet giveaway was funded through a State of California grant (Transportation Development Act, Article 3). Bicyclists visiting the event site (in front our main library/university) were fitted with helmets, and those in need were also provided with headlights and tail lights (100 units were installed.
Let me know if you need more info.

San Jose hosts a Bike to Work event each year. Recharging Stations are set up around town. Bicyclists are offered snacks, water and information about our bikeways and trail network.
Several months ago, we hosted a bike helmet giveaway. This was a good opportunity to promote biking and support safe enjoyment of our facilties.

Re: Has Anyone Evaluated a Riverfront Trail/Walk?

The City of San Jose formally opened the Guadalupe River Park with 2.6 miles of trails (riverwalks) in September 2005. The project includes well integrated flood protection and park elements.
The park functions as San Jose's "central park" and serves adjacent downtown housing and businesses. Work is underway to pave an additonal 7 miles of connnecting trail within the next year. The park serves as the core of the City's developing 100-mile trail network. The park also hosts most of the city's cultural festivals during the spring and summer.
Adjacent high rise housing developments reference the park and trail in marketing brochures. The park has contributed to downtown's sense of place.
