A Case for Increased Federal Investment in Bicycling and Walking
"Active Transportation for America” is a 48 page report available for downloading from the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy website. It was written and produced by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy whose mission is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people

"Active Transportation for America" makes the case and quantifies the national benefits—for the first time—that increased federal funding in bicycling and walking infrastructure would provide tens of billions of dollars in benefits to all Americans.” A must read (or skim) for all trail advocates. _________________ Posted by Dixie Moore, Secretary KRTC |
