The Active Community Transportation Act of 2010

Many of us support trails by donating to organizations such as Rails to Trails Conservancy and American Trails. 


Now I realize that not everyone is willing or able to make trails their #1 donation of choice. But there are other ways to support the great trail system in this country and one of those is to help influence our lawmakers to pass legislation to make trails and trail users a priority. It makes so much sense to promote trails since they help build a healthy, environmentally friendly community.

I encourage all trail advocates to visit the following RTC web page for more information and links to help pass:

The Active Community Transportation Act of 2010


Contacting your elected representative about this bill will cost you nothing but, if enough of us do it, we could have a significant impact on the future of trails in this country. There are so many benefits to a comprehensive system of community trails, that it seems like a no-brainer to continue improving and adding onto the system we currently have in place.

    Thank you very much for promoting H.R. 4722, the Active Community Transportation Act of 2010! We at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy are working very hard to ensure this bill gains enough congressional support to ensure the creation of the program in question; the benefits, as you say, to communities all around the country would be tremendous.

    I'd encourage your readers to continue to take action at http://support.railstotrails.org/ACT.

    Thank you!
