Weneed this information to effectively advocate for inclusion of trails in thefederal economic response to COVID-19.

Who should complete the survey?

Managers, either professional or volunteer, of“shovel-ready” trail projects. “Shovel-ready” trail projects are projectsthat, if funding is available and working conditions are safe, could providejobs by Summer 2021. A project can be “shovel-ready” in any phase ofdevelopment (e.g., planning, design, construction, maintenance) as long as jobswould be created before Summer 2021 if the project were funded now.

Prior to completing the survey, it may be helpful to take amoment now and gather the information you will need to respond to the followingquestions about your “shovel-ready” trail projects. This informationincludes:

Project names and locations

Approximate total project budgets and timelines

Approximate numbers of project jobs or workers

Project characteristics and features (e.g., land type,mileage, types of project work, user types, accessibility, etc.)

All responses must be submitted prior to 5:00pm PDT, Thursday,May 28, 2020.

All responses are anonymous and confidential. Results ofthis survey will be reported only at the aggregate level according to keygeographic areas and project characteristics that are relevant todecision-makers and funders at the national and state levels.

If you are a trail project manager of one or more“shovel-ready” projects, we strongly encourage you to provide information onyour project(s). Without it, we will not be able to demonstrate the full powerof trails to put people back to work and help America recover from the COVID-19pandemic.
