IMBA and affiliate groups are in the process of building hundreds of miles of trails that include massive trail centers. With 30 major trail projects lined up to rival destinations like Moab, we're talking extensive new trail networks in Idaho and Alabama. Also freeride skill centers in Colorado and South Dakota.Here's the rub. We're facing a potential reduction in federal trail funding from the Federal Highway Administration (responsible for both motorized and non-motorized trails across the country) and recreational trails might be on the chopping block.
Trail builders IMBA and affiliate have used federal money to leverage local contributions and its been a great investment that local communities want to get behind. So tapping into state and community resources may help get many of these projects off the ground.
Because so much is on the line IMBA asks that you get involved. There's more information on threatened trails, new single-track projects or memberships to join IMBA to gain greater political clout in Washington —visit imba.com
