Who: More than 100 advocates of urban pathways, greenways and trails from more than 25 cities across the nation, in the nonprofit, private and public sectors engaged with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's Urban Pathways Initiative.

• Working effectively with diverse communities
• Connecting with police to manage crime and traffic safety on trails
