Trail Planning
Trails as Resilient Infrastructure
This guidebook demonstrates how trails are part of resilient transportation infrastructure, how trails can be planned and designed to be resilient and sustainable, and how trails have a role in emergency planning and response. Trails of all kinds are places for recreation, exercise, and active transportation. Trails are also a crucial tool for making communities more resilient in the face of climate change and other emergencies. This guidebook examines the ways in which
trails can be made more resilient and how trails can serve as resilient infrastructure, providing information and guidance in support of these goals.
