Chittenden County, Vermont is poised to expand on its reputation as a model community for walking and bicycling as part of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s 2010 Campaign for Active Transportation, which seeks to double federal transportation funding for walking and bicycling in the next transportation bill. With more than 300 miles of designated on-road facilities, more than 110 miles of shared use paths, and more than 440 miles of sidewalks, residents and visitors have numerous options to walk or bike to their destinations or just explore our friendly communities. There is great potential to increase the number of people choosing to walk and bike by completing critical gaps in the existing network and expanding education and encouragement programs.
