National Association of State Trail Administrators

The goal of our professional organization is to share ideas and information among all 50 states to improve our trails and greenways systems. With funding from the Federal Highway Administration we sponsor an annual training conference as well as communications on national issues. The next training session is scheduled for September 18-20, 2007 at Lake Tahoe, Nevada/California.
