The Coalition for Recreational Trails (CRT) honored this year’s recipients of the Tom Petri Recreational Trails Program Annual Achievement Awards.

The Build Back Better Act includes programs that address critical transportation and infrastructure issues, such as economic development, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and equity.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (H.R.3684).

It’s critical that we tell Capitol Hill Democrats that passing a reconciliation bill that builds equity and climate solutions into transportation policy.

RTC’s analysis finds the Bipartisan infrastructure deal misses opportunity to prioritize walking and biking as essential.

As of the summer of 2021, the state of trails in the states is much stronger than we anticipated.

For years, the team at RTC has championed the need for transformative federal transportation policies alongside partners in the field and on Capitol Hill.

Since the program was created in 2009, USDOT has awarded nearly $9 billion in RAISE funds addressing all modes of transportation.

What the Biden Infrastructure plan is missing, however, is a focus on creating low-stress walking and biking routes, like trail and active transportation networks.

The U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has now issued guidance about earmarks.
