Introducing – State Legislative Salon

RTC wants to make sure you are equipped with the knowledge and resources to achieve policy wins for walking, biking and trails in your state. During peak legislative season for state legislatures across the country, these casual, 30-minute sessions are an opportunity to compare notes and best practices with like-minded organizations from other states and workshop policy and advocacy ideas for this year’s sessions. Join RTC’s director of state-level policy, Drew Dupuy, for an open forum on all things state policy. No agendas, no presentations, just collaboration!
