Kentucky ranks 45th in total rail-trail mileage. Kentucky has only 36 miles of rail-trails. Only the states of Alaska, Hawaii, Delaware, New Mexico and Nevada have fewer miles.

KRTC works with local organizations to develop greenways and trails, and is as a source of information on project funding, design, and management. KRTC also seeks to increase public awareness of the benefits of rail-trails, and works with the national Rails to Trails Conservancy.
