Trail advocates say Trump administration puts active transportation projects at risk
Briefly

The Rails to Trails Conservancy has mobilized efforts to encourage biking and hiking while raising awareness about the risks faced by active transportation projects. As the Trump administration examines grants initiated by the Biden administration, advocates warn that numerous transportation initiatives are at stake. One highlight of these projects includes planned biking and hiking trails in Milwaukee, which aim to provide safe recreational areas for communities, particularly in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods where these facilities are crucial for both safety and revitalization.
Unfortunately, we've had people on bikes killed on the streets... This project will give people access to an 18-mile loop around the city where they'll be able to bike safely.
The Rails to Trails Conservancy wants people to hop on their bikes... it advocates for trails, and it says thousands of transportation projects are at risk as the Trump administration reviews grants.
