Rails with Trails Petition--Virginia

The Virginia Bicycling Federation, along with 25 national, state and local organizations has endorsed a resolution asking Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine to support rails with trails along all major rail projects in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Major upgrades to three signicant rail corridors are being planned, including the Southeast High Speed Corridor (Richmond to Raleigh). The Federation supports this growth and believes this offers a great opportunity for rail with trail development. NCRT supports these efforts by the VA Bicycling Federation and urges our members and all others supporting rail trail development to read the resolution and sign the petition. See the Winter 2008 Little Toot article for earlier commentary.
