Advocating for a High Performing Transportation Alternatives Program

December 17, 2024

Join Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) for an interactive discussion exploring how to advocate for improved Transportation Alternatives (TA) program implementation.

During this highly interactive 60-minute session, attendees heard from RTC’s Kevin Mills, Vice President of Policy and Kim Chesser, State Agency Advocacy Specialist, as they explored opportunities to accelerate progress on trail and active transportation networks, key reforms in TA implementation, RTC’s data and resources to assist advocates and best practices for engaging with TA managers.

RTC was joined by Kirsten Finn, Executive Director of Wisconsin Bike Fed, to discuss how Wisconsin Bike Fed has advocated and worked with the state to make improvements to the TA program. 

Following presentations, participants had a chance to engage directly with their peers through breakouts to discuss different efforts and priorities in multiple states and brainstorm ideas, best practices and solutions around TA implementation.

RTC’s TrailNation Collaborative, Trail Development and Policy teams produce a free webinar series designed to help trail professionals build, grow, manage, maintain, promote or otherwise support trails and trail networks. Sign up here to get webinar alerts.
