Save the Date: TrailLink 2007 August 8 - 10 in Portland, Oregon

 

Proponents of trails, biking and walking are all encouraged to attend
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's biannual TrailLink 2007 in order to gain new
skills to champion active transportation in their communities and help
launch a national active transportation movement. 

 

Active transportation is travel powered by human energy, such as walking and
biking. 

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is leading a campaign to double federal
investment in active transportation by 2010. Our TrailLink Conference will
provide advocates and government and community leaders with tools they'll be
able to use to ensure the creation of adequate infrastructure and active
transportation programs in their communities. 


There will be a pre-conference Successful Trail-Building Strategies Workshop
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on August 8, followed by a kickoff dinner and
live music at the Portland Zoo that evening for attendees. Confirmed
speakers presenting on August 9th and 10th will be expert panelists from
across the country who are already working in their communities and beyond
to make active transportation a reality. They will cover topics such as
mobility, public health, economy, climate, and family and community. Our
closing plenary speaker will be Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
