Company Profile

Company Description:

Since 1986, the team at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) has been standing shoulder to shoulder with passionate partners, trail advocates and public leaders to grow the nation’s trails and trail networks—inspiring movement, spurring economic development, celebrating and lifting up America’s diverse heritage, and connecting the nation by trail like never before.

With more than 1 million grassroots supporters, 24,000+ miles of rail-trails on the ground and more than 8,000 miles of rail-trails ready to be built nationwide, our focus is on linking these corridors—creating trail networks that connect people and places, and bringing transformative benefits to communities all across the country. Our flagship initiatives—the Great American Rail-Trail™, TrailNation™ and TrailLink.com™—bring that strategy to life, connecting millions of people by trail.

We are proud of the impact we’ve made, and we are humbled by the incredible contributions to our movement among the partners, advocates and public leaders who together are making big strides in creating a nation connected by trail.
