Trail Supporter—

Disturbing news from Washington, D.C.: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has unleashed a vicious attack on funding for trails, walking and biking, just as Congress is working to finalize the next federal transportation bill.

But with your help, RTC is fighting back.

Will you help us protect and defend trail funding by becoming a Rails to Trails Conservancy member today?

Trails, alongside walking and biking infrastructure like sidewalks and protected bike lanes, are essential parts of our transportation system and vital for the health and safety of our communities. That’s why demand continues to grow for more connected trails that give us safe places to walk, bike and to simply enjoy the outdoors.

But Secretary Duffy’s priority for the next transportation bill is to eliminate critical funding for trails and active transportation in what amounts to an unmitigated attack on walking and biking. 

When you join with a membership gift of just $18, you’ll support RTC’s work with lawmakers, coalition partners and trail advocates nationwide to protect and strengthen the federal programs that make trail development possible to create safe places to walk, bike or be active outside.
