Advocating for Active Transportation: Introducing Rails to Trails Conservancy’s Reauthorization Agenda

There is much uncertainty right now about the future of federal funding for trails, walking and biking. In this webinar, you will learn about what Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) is doing—and actions you can take—to reinforce the transformative impact of trails in your community. For decades, RTC, its members and partners have advocated for investments in the infrastructure communities need to safely walk and bike to daily destinations. As we work to shape federal transportation priorities, RTC has put forth a policy framework for the next reauthorization of the federal surface transportation bill focused on ensuring a robust ecosystem of policies and programs that prioritize connected walking and biking routes, making it safer and easier for Americans to move around the regions where they live, work and play. Join us as we discuss this important agenda and how you can help send a clear message to the nation’s decisionmakers and elected leaders: Americans want active transportation networks where they live.
