Active Transportation in Northern Delaware

A coalition of local agencies and organizations working on transportation, land use, health, business, tourism, environment, children and senior programs has formed to partner with the Rails to Trails Conservancy’s 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation. The Campaign aims to build on the success of the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program in SAFETEA-LU. The goal: empowering dozens of communities to each advocate for $50 million in federal funds to make focused investments in infrastructure and programs to shift automobile trips to walking and biking.
