The Secrets to Gardens on Urban Pathways
The active transportation and recreation options that trails provide are not always available to low-income communities and communities of color facing the challenges of obesity, congestion and scarcity of open space. Urban pathways are part of the solution. By providing opportunities for healthier living, they effect positive changes in neighborhoods where the demand for improved health and community empowerment is greatest.

RTC's Urban Pathways Initiative links these individuals together, providing a place to share innovative resources and best practices.
