About

We invite you to explore with us—find your next trail adventure. Find new ways to take part in the advocacy to reimagine public spaces, creating safe ways for everyone to walk, bike and be active outdoors. Discover why your time on the trail is so much more than a day outside.

Since 1986, RTC has worked to bring the power of trails to more communities across the country, serving as the national voice for the rail-trail movement.

With more than 1 million grassroots supporters, 25,000+ miles of rail-trails on the ground nationwide and more than 9,000 miles of rail-trails ready to be built, our focus is on linking these corridors—creating trail networks that connect people and places, bringing transformative benefits to communities all across the country. Our flagship initiatives—the Great American Rail-Trail^®, TrailNation™ and TrailLink.com™—bring that strategy to life, connecting millions of people by trail.
