Rail to Trail Conversions

While paved shoulders are our first priority, we also promote Rail Trails conversions and other segregated facilities (like "bike paths") in certain situations. Some of the Rail to Trail conversions that we have actively lobbied for include:

• the Mountain Division Line (which is actually a Rail with Trail)
• the Down East Sunrise Trail on the former Calais Branch Corridor
• the Eastern Trail from South Portland to Berwick to Kittery, and
• the Kennebec River Rail Trail from Gardiner to Augusta.

We are also working to extend the East Coast Greenway into Maine.
