What is Active Transportation:

Active transportation is travel powered by human energy, and walking and biking are the most common means of active transportation. To encourage more walking and biking, communities must create active transportation systems—seamless networks of accessible trails, sidewalks and on-road bike facilities.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is working to make trail systems ubiquitous and active transportation routine in communities throughout America.

The following resources are available to aid you to make the case for active transportation in your community:

• "Active Transportation for America" report, documenting for the first time the benefits we would see as a nation with increased investments in walking and bicycling.
• Issue briefs on the major themes of active transportation.
• Slideshow presentations from the conferences.
• Videos of select conference presentations.
