OUR WORK

The Great American Rail-Trail is RTC's flagship initiative to create a multiuse trail that stretches more than 3,700 miles between Washington, D.C., and Washington State.

RTC's TrailNation work is redefining what it means to build trail networks and the impact these equitable trail systems can have on people and places.

RTC's TrailLink website and mobile app is the premier trail-finder website in the nation, which to date has documented 40,000+ miles of multiuse trails around the country.
