Build it and they will come! The Katy Trail already makes Missouri a bike destination. Build the Rock Island Trail and more people will come to Missouri and stay longer.

Yes, the Lake Wobegon and Central Lakes trails are technically different but one is just a continuation of the other.

Thank you RTC!

So true!

When is the projected completion of this trail?

Thank you for this video! I just found out about the Great American Rail Trail a few months ago and plan to bike it in a few weeks starting on Aug 14 in Washington DC!!! Great to hear that you’re working with Adventure Cycling too.

Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan.

Awesome 👌 👏

When do the funds become available?

What is great American trail? At least you should show a map at the beginning of the video

The Big Four Bridge is very good: The Indiana side has very nice scenery with mainly flat paths. It's hard to beat the Louisville Loop for the longer hauls!

Two thumbs up for Ian from Indiana Trails and the Hoosier Rails to Trails Council! And, thanks Ride Illinois for sharing this item from our friends at the Rails To Trails Conservancy.

👍

When is the GART expected to be 50% complete?

Make your city a bicycle city.

Thank you for sharing this.good job

Walking, running, bicycles, escooters, green open spaces, electric buses and trams are all parts of a good transportation system

This is on my bucket list

Thank you for being you! You are an inspiration to my son.

Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it daily. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Ride to work, school or for fun. Children should be able to ride bicycles to school safely and not have to be driven in minivans. Ebikes are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Great to keep older adults active and mobile.

Thank you Rails to Trails Conservancy for educating us about these opportunities.

A neat idea that I've heard about for years. I'm puzzled as to why there's been very little progress between this video and a similar one from 3 years ago in terms of trail completion? It seems like there's been a significant amount of funding available and yet not much to show for it. Even the website and map are not very dynamic. Maybe the National Parks Service should supervise the promoting, building, and maintaining of a network of trails across the U.S.A. which could include vertical lines to run down the west coast, the Mississippi River, etc.

Can't wait to giv e a few a try this summer!!

I want to see bike trails everywhere.

RTC ROCKS !

Amazing, looking forward to seeing the whole trail finished

This is incredible and excited to see more progress on this project.

Seattle bike blog April 4, 2022 Beverly Bridge over the Columbia River officially opens April 8, fills major gap in the Palouse-to-Cascades Trail

Walking, running, bicycles, escooters, green open spaces, electric buses and trams are all parts of a good transportation system

Ice age trail isn't even for bikers. It's illegal actually

When will there be a guidebook that covers the western NC/eastern TN area

Hi, As a new member from the UK - we heard about your wonderful trails through Ryan Van Duzer's channel. We are planning our trip for next year and not sure how many Europeans know about your trails. Definitely potential there for many more tourists to support your trails, towns and communities.

Any word on when this spectacula project will be completed?? Here because A Jeopardy contest today works on the trail and mentioned it!

Thanks so much for sharing and I want to somehow get involved supporting the trail systems in this area.

Thanks so much for sharing yalls journey and passion.

I'm hitting the trails. Who wants to join me b4 it gets too hot? May-june r peak months.

Are there some terrain situations that rails to trails avoids and instead goes around as they are poor candidates for accessible trails? Thinking steep, wooded, areas.

Now if only they could connect one to Florida.

I am so proud of my Dad, Grand MA and family. Proud Northern Cheyenne

everyone needs this rn what can we do to help

This is great!

Great resources. Looking forward to more webinars.

👍

Where there is unplanned sections, are there at least maps for recommended routes? For example, the gap between Bureau Junction and La Salle Illinois is very dangerous and not even any back roads a person can take to be safe from traffic. Thanks,

I’d LOVE to do a round trip version as soon as it’s done!

Thank ❤ you all the volunteers who are making this amazing concept a reality.

🥰🥰

Fantastic interview and story this is a amazing

Hi I'm Jerry from Santa Cruz ca.are the Great American rail trail connect connect from Washington down to California? Ok let me know thank you .

There is a climate crisis. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation.
