Senate Sign-On Letter Cardin-Cochran Amendment 1549-AARP
2/13/2012 «F1» Dear Senator «Last_Name», We are writing to request your support for the Cardin/Cochran amendment #1549 to MAP- 21, to ensure local access to Transportation Enhancement (TE) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funds. This amendment will ensure the effective implementation of TE and SRTS eligibilities by empowering local governments through suballocation of funds to Tier I metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). In addition, for localities outside of Tier I MPOs, the amendment provides a streamlined administrative structure for a statewide pool set aside for these activities. At the same time, the amendment improves capacity for state departments of transportation (DOTs) to partner with locals. Since 1992, the Transportation Enhancements program has brought tremendous benefits to local communities through improved transportation choice, economic development, historic revitalization, and environmental restoration of the surface transportation system. This program enjoys broad local support in every state. For example, just in one area in Florida, 13 counties, cities and transportation agencies in and around Daytona Beach have passed resolutions supporting federal investment in TE. Local communities also support TE because of the job-creation benefits these projects provide; a recent American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials/Transportation Research Board study found that TE projects create more jobs per dollar than any other type of Federal-aid highway spending. However, a major challenge for state DOTs in implementing this program has been the local-scale orientation of the eligible activities, a non-traditional area for state DOTs. There is limited capacity at the state level for addressing these myriad, sometimes competing, priorities.

The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), Spanning the Mountains from Mexico to Canada
Crater Lake National Park National Park Service Pacific Crest U.S. Department of the Interior Trail What Is the Pacific First came the Appalachian Trail, stretching from Georgia to Maine. Crest Trail? Next came the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), spanning the mountains from Mexico to Canada. Currently, there are fifteen National Scenic Trails, allowing adventuresome explorers to hike over the most beautiful areas of the United States. The idea for a trail on the west coast first came about in the 1 920's, but it was not until 1 972 that all 2,638 miles of the trail were completed and hiked entirely for the first time. "If you have never gazed down on Crater Lake, reform! Visit it for your own good." These were the words of J. Hazard in his 1 946 book describing Pacific Crest Trail. At that time. Crater Lake was the finish ing point on the Oregon Skyline trail. Today this 400 mile stretch from Mount Hood to Crater Lake is the oldest section of trail on the Pacific Crest Trail. Crater Lake is just one of seven national parks through which the PCT passes. Each of these parks has its own set of rules governing backcountry users. If possible, obtain a permit for backcountry camping from the Steel Information Center at Park Headquarters. If this is not possible, however, PCT through hikers are granted an exemption from the requirement that all backcountry users must be in possession of a permit. Getting Even Closer PCT hikers have always been able to explore vast areas of volcanic to the Lake landscape in Crater Lake National Park; however, they could get a view of the lake only by leaving the trail and entering the developed Rim Village area.

Backcountry Discovery Trail
Have you ever wanted to get into the backcountry Backcountry of a National Forest? Have you wondered if you have Discovery Trail what it takes? Rest assured: exploring the backcountry doesn’t necessarily require an ATV or a dirt bike. You can do it in a high clearance vehicle or a 4WD sport utility vehicle. This guide gives directions for the route from point to point, gives tips on what to bring and how to prepare, provides background information on history and general topics, and directs travelers to points of interest along the way. This 150-mile-long discovery trail is a perfect place to begin your explorations of the Plumas National Forest! Plumas National Forest Plumas National Forest Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail is published by the USDA Forest Service, in cooperation with the California State Parks OHV Division. Printed in the USA 2013 ISBN: Welcome to the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail (BDT) invites exploration of the remote areas of the Plumas National Forest. You can expect rough road conditions on gravel and dirt roads and a slow pace of travel, maybe only 30-50 miles a day. Be prepared for downed trees or rocks on the road, rough and rocky surfaces, and brush encroaching on the road- way. Much of the route is under snow in the winter and early spring. There are no restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations along the main route and cell phone coverage is intermittent. The non-paved roads are currently maintained for travel by sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and high-clearance vehicles.

2011 Progress Report Full Version 02 12.Indd
CALIFORNIA RECREATIONAL TRAILS PLAN Providing Vision and Direction for California Trails Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe Rim Trail TahoeTTahhoe RRiRimm TrailTTrail Complete Progress Report 2011 California State Parks Planning Division Statewide Trails Section www.parks.ca.gov/trails/trailsplan Message from the Director Th e ability to exercise and enjoy nature in the outdoors is critical to the physical and mental health of California’s population. Trails and greenways provide the facilities for these activities. Our surveys of Californian’s recreational use patterns over the years have shown that our variety of trails, from narrow back-country trails to spacious paved multi-use facilities, provide experiences that attract more users than any other recreational facility in California. Th e increasing population and desire for trails are increasing pressures on the agencies charged with their planning, maintenance and management. As leaders in the planning and management of all types of trail systems, California State Parks is committed to assisting the state’s recreation providers by complying with its legislative mandate of recording the progress of the California Recreational Trails Plan. During the preparation of this progress report, input was received through surveys, two California Recreational Trails Committee public meetings and a session at the 2011 California Trails and Greenways Conference. Preparation of this progress Above: Director Ruth Coleman report included extensive research into the current status of the 27 California Trail Corridors, determining which of these corridors need administrative, funding or planning assistance. Research and public input regarding the Plan’s twelve Goals and their associated Action Guidelines have identifi ed both encouraging progress and areas where more attention is needed.
