Railbanking

Railbanking was first established by Congress in 1983 as an amendment to the National Trails System Act. This popular and effective way of preserving America’s rail corridors by providing communities with recreation trails is at the center of upcoming Federal legislation.

Our friends at the Rails to Trails Conservancy have shared this fact sheet:

Understanding Railbanking and the Impact of the “Rails to Trails Landowner Rights Act” (H.R.4924)

Everyone one of us is able to make our own voices known on matters of Federal legislation and policy by contacting our lawmakers.
