Our Mission:
We're creating a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people.
What We're Working On
2018 Pennsylvania Sojourn
RTC's sojourns explore America’s most spectacular rail-trails, the charming communities and iconic sites along the way in an immersive and exhilarating way: by bicycle.
Building Trail Networks
We’re working nationwide to connect trails and communities—creating trail networks through TrailNationTM projects that deliver incredible benefits for people and places.
Advocating for Trail Investment
With a federal infrastructure bill in play for 2018, and a renewal of federal transportation legislation only two years away, now is the time to advocate for trails.
