Source: Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC)
Use of trails rose sharply during the onset of the pandemic due to demand and need for safe outdoor activity and socialization. This increase in participation highlights the importance of access to the outdoors for all communities, and multimodal trail networks support a multitude of purposes for people who walk, bike, and roll. An information brief from PBIC takes a fresh look at the current state of practice for trail development, including benefits, guidance and resources, and strategies for planning that distribute benefits equitably. It also includes new research and shares examples of applications of trails in communities.
