OUR IMPACT



Since 1986, Rails to Trails Conservancy supported the creation of tens of
thousands of miles of rail-trails and multiuse trails nationwide by building and
championing infrastructure, advocating for public funding for trails and active
transportation, and inspiring more people to make trails part of their everyday
lives. Here’s a snapshot of our impact.



 * 


 * 41,400+
   
   miles of multiuse trail across the country providing people with safe,
   off-road routes for walking, bicycling, being active and connecting to
   nature.


 * 150+
   
   trail networks are being built in the U.S., with at least one in every state,
   showing universal demand for connected active transportation infrastructure.


 * $24 BILLION
   
   in federal active transportation funding has supported tens of thousands of
   trail, walking and biking projects, a fraction of the annual ROI they
   deliver.


 * 90 MILLION
   
   people connected to trails via TrailLink™, having fun and making trails part
   of their everyday lives.


 * 1 MILLION+
   
   grassroots taking action, transforming their joy into impact to create,
   connect and maintain the nation’s trails.


 * 7,500+
   
   professionals and advocates coming together to spur trail and active
   transportation network development nationwide.


 * 12,000
   
   miles of trail being connected through TrailNation™, proving what is possible
   when trail networks are at the heart of communities.
