@ObispoSenor @LisaDNews Agree completely!! Better than watching CSPAN. Thank you!

[Brandi Horton @bld177]

Is this the definition of making it mainstream? #GRTAmerican #RailstoTrails #ILOVEMYJOB [now we're dreaming of a cameo on Dancing with the Stars😂]

[Nēv Schulman @NevSchulman]

Who wants to do this with me? @railstotrails

[attn @attn]

You'll soon be able to bike from D.C. to Seattle on this 3,700-mile bike trail.

A bright spot in our #COVID19 weeks are our walks to @WHSHappenings where @apsvirginia serves free lunch. The best part is Mr. Dan, the librarian, who goes above and beyond to bring joy and kindness to the kids of all ages from the community. He brings so much joy. #APStogether

[VA Soccer Mom @Act_NOW_VA]

Meanwhile in #ArlingtonVA .... @ArlingtonVA issues a pathetic apology for removing #BLM #ChalkArt done by a child. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do Better.
We won’t stand for this.

What’s happening in our country right now is bringing to the foreground all of the ways racism and injustice play out in our lives—even, maybe especially, in public, outside spaces. Proud to be part of #TeamRTC, and our commitment to be better and do more to dismantle racism.

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

This week, a blatant display of racism occurred on the Capital Crescent Trail in our backyard. This is another stark reminder of the necessary work to create inclusive outdoor spaces. Elevating these stories on our national platform is just one step we can take.

Remember, her emails?

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Tonight the President of the United States used the American military to shoot peaceful protestors with rubber bullets & tear gas them.

For a photo op.

This is a horrifying use of presidential power against our own citizens, & has no place anywhere, let alone in America. Vote.

.@ArlingtonVA county board, leadership in 40+ U.S. cities (https://t.co/b76c7YrMTK) is equitably keeping communities safe. What will it take for Arlington to act? @libbygarvey @Matt4Arlington @kcristol @CD4arlington @BikeArlington @WalkArlington @ARLnowDOTcom

When @ArlingtonVA refuses to repurpose streets for safe, socially distant physical activity—despite rising pedestrian fatalities nationwide, parks closed, kids home and speeding through the roof—you get innovative. #streetsforsocialdistancing #Covid19Streets #bikewalkarlington

Biking and walking are essential right now--we need exercise and fresh air, close to home, for our well-being and we need accessible, affordable transportation. Help @railstotrails get more support for #streetsforsocialdistancing by signing the petition: https://t.co/b76c7Yabva

A lovely morning exploring Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole with #teamrtc.

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

#TeamRTC is in beautiful Wyoming this week for the 2019 @SHIFTjh! We’re thrilled to be here with Dr. Rose Gowen, who is an RTC board member and a @BTxRGV commissioner. #TrailNation #CaracaraTrails

Make sure your member of Congress knows how important it is to support active transportation. https://t.co/Tf33UAivdr

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

Congress is beginning its work on the next major transportation bill, which will guide transportation spending for years to come.

This is why @railstotrails is calling on Congress to make wise investments in trails, 👟🚲 in the next transportation bill. #TrailsTransform

[Brandi Horton @bld177]

THIS! This is why our investment in trails and bike/ped infrastructure is so important. The benefits to our quality of life, our mobility and our bottom line are incomparble. https://t.co/eLVsQLIlQ2

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

“It’s not just about being multimodal, it’s also about being intermodal–being able to walk to transit, bus to bike, etc. You need to build a transportation system that works together to provide access to jobs, schools, and other places you need to go.” - Jim Kolb, @Summit_Strat

[Rails to Trails Conservancy @railstotrails]

Looking forward to #teamRTC talks at #NRPAConference today—sharing our enthusiasm for trails and connectivity as drivers for social equity, economic development, health and wellness, quality of life and more! #trailnation #trailstransformUS

[Transportation for America @T4America]

Before we dive in, let's set the stage with a basic fact: Transportation is the largest source of U.S. carbon emissions mostly due to driving. Switching to electric vehicles won't be enough to decarbonize the transportation system. We need to go #BeyondEVs https://t.co/D9oGAnpDUm

[Brandi Horton @bld177]

@JohnFriedman @railstotrails @johnfriedman and you! Fantastic discussion on #CSR as core to an organization’s purpose and brand. Great takeaways. And we had some fun!

I spend a lot on supplements in my desire to be healthy and raise a healthy family. This is so troublesome.
