Urban trail and greenway usage is increasingly prevalent in cities across the country.  These trails offer inexpensive and convenient access to recreation for residents and can often serve as alternative routes for work commuting.  Trails can also act as key economic development drivers by encouraging adjacent development.  The National Trails Training Partnership has collected a comprehensive library of studies and resources on the economic impacts and benefits of trails.
