With our national partners, we collected hundreds of projects that total $1.2 billion. Parameters have since expanded, and we are again seeking active transportation project submissions . The recovery package will likely be $700 billion or more, aiming to create and maintain 2.5 million jobs over the next two years. This framing is significantly different than previous estimates of $300 billion over a few months-hence our renewed call for projects. Please submit projects to Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) by visiting our online submission page : http://support.railstotrails.org/submissions Guidelines: 1. Projects should be at least $100,000; 2. RTC must receive submissions by Dec. 15 at noon, eastern time; 3. There is no need to resubmit projects already proposed; and 4. Projects should be able to be completed between four months and two years. Political Background: Congress is considering multiple scenarios for how to distribute the infrastructure funds in this economic recovery package (expected to pass in late January). The House approach simply passes all the money to state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). This course of action will not yield optimal results for active transportation. We face the threat of being left out by funding priorities that follow the mistakes of the past half-century. Your submissions help us make the case with congressional leaders that active transportation projects are in high demand and deserve to be a priority. Thank you. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy P.S. You can help in another way. RTC is currently running an online petition encouraging Congress to specifically fund active transportation projects in the recovery package. We have one week left to hit our target of 10,000 signatures, and we are very close! Please use all applicable lists or newsletters to encourage others to sign the petition-after doing so yourself!

It is widely believed that the package will focus on the building of infrastructure, including transportation. Organizations such as the Greenways Foundation and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy have been fighting for years to keep a fair balance in transportation funding between motorized and non-motorized facilities, specifically for trails and greenways. On behalf of Indiana and other states, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is now collecting a list of shovel-ready trail projects to submit to the architects of this recovery package. These must be of significant length and scope and have all land acquisition and other legal hurdles cleared, so that construction work may begin immediately should funding be made available. The bad news is, the deadline for submission is Monday, December 15th at 12 noon. The good news is, it takes only a few minutes per project to fill out the application. Please use this link to access the RTC page where submissions are being accepted. We only have three days left! Help us keep the balance Remove me from future mailings. Manage my preferences.
