Propose Streets for Walking And Biking
Is there a street in your neighborhood that you think should be closed to vehicle traffic to create more space for you and your neighbors to be outside and active at a safe social distance? Let us know where so we can show local officials how many places people need more access to the outdoors right now.
Support the Great American By Pledging
Support at the state and local levels is critical to the trail’s success. Help us reach 1 million pledges for the Great American, showing the strength and solidarity of the trails community. This is America’s trail. Together, let’s make it a reality.
The Connecting America’s Active Transportation System Act (H.R. 5696) will connect the nation’s trails and active transportation system.
