ECO Trails activities are overseen by the Eagle County Commissioners, Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority Board (also known as the ECO Board), and the ECO Eagle Valley Trails Committee. The ECO Board consists of elected officials or appointed representatives from each incorporated town in the county and from county government.  In 1996, the ECO Board created the citizen trails committee to advise them on how the taxes collected for trails should be expended.Staff from each of the towns and the county also participate on the committee.  A staff position was created in 1998 to manage implementation of the program.  

Note:  The Roaring Fork Valley portion of Eagle County has a separate trails program and is not a member of ECO Trails.  The Roaring Fork Valley Trails program is under the management of the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), a transit and trails agency, and is also sales tax funded.
