Share The Trails is about safely sharing Recreation Trail networks including community Bikeways/eScooterways. While we use & develop more Rec Trail networks and community Bikeways/eScooterways, we must never lose sight or be complacent about safer conditions. More signage, median lines and other things to keep us safe for either recreation and/or alternative transportation options. There is only so much space (like 10′ wide Rec Trails) for us to Share Rec Trails & Roadways with ever growing popularity- you do the equation with & without considering Safety.
Empowering Youth
Including youth is a critical component to Bikeway/eScooterway advocacy, development, leadership and volunteerism. It’s a heavy weight to place on anyone’s shoulders, but to achieve much less expensive & better use of existing resources is an important responsibility for youth now and moving forward. With the right organization, planning and implemetation by virtue of Youth Bikeway/eScooterway Planning Committees, it’s a relatively straightforward path. Why eScooters? Because Youth have embraced eScooters and to force Youth eScooters into Roadways without safe conditions is unreasonable- the same can be said about bikes and other alt-wheeled equipment like skates & skateboards.
Share The Trails 501 C3 designed a Rec Trail Safety Best Practices (RTSBP) model for safer Rec Trails. Share The Trails RTSBP model is a also a vehicle for enjoying the economic regionalism of Trail Towns & nearby Towns & honoring the natural beauty of our Rec Trails. Share The Trails 501 C3 mission is to advocate and implement Safer Rec Trails & Bikeways/eScooterways.
