Preparing for the Next Transportation Bill: How Federal Transportation Decisions Affect Walking, Biking and Trails
Join Rails to Trails’ Changemaker for Trails campaign for a training on “Preparing for the Next Transportation Bill: How Federal Transportation Decisions Affect Walking, Biking and Trails.” During this training, we discussed the federal legislation that makes trails possible and how you can directly influence the creation of this legislation. More specifically, we discussed Rails to Trails Conservancy’s top policy priorities and important opportunities for engagement and advocacy as discussion around this legislation kicks off in Congress in the Summer and Fall.
