Trailblazers' work focuses on the following areas related to trails, cycling, and active transportation- infrastructure development, construction and maintenance, and outreach and advocacy. Trailblazers works with the general public, municipalities, community organizations, and philanthropists to plan, fund, construct, and maintain shared-use paved trails and multi-use soft surface trails for the public to enjoy. Our community outreach and advocacy efforts focus on educating and building awareness for people to live active healthy lives by riding bikes for transportation and recreation purposes, and becoming champions for trails, cycling, and active transportation. We conduct community outreach and advocacy to grow support for building out an active transportation network and to grow an inclusive trails, cycling, and active transportation community. We have programs that work with neighborhoods to calm traffic, teach adults and children how to ride bikes and encourage people to ride bikes for recreation and transportation.
