Rails-to-Trails Conservancy This Web Site is also an important information resource for folks that are interested in creating new Rail-trails. For that reason, the Webmaster has joined the Conservancy and urges other activists to do likewise. On Monday morning, we will be opening our doors in the beautifully rehabbed Union Station at Worcester Massachusetts. This facility is the most completely thorough and spectacular restoration of a railroad station in New England and represents a major step forward in our taking a higher role in helping to develop and build-out the nearly 200 rail-trail projects in the region. Note that MBTA Commuter Rail Service is available from Boston South Station and intermediate stops directly to Worcester Union Station. Furthermore all Worcester Regional Transit Authority busses have bike racks! Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is pleased to announce the launch of a new searchable database that contains information about a variety of federal, state and private funding sources for trails and greenways. These funding sources - including statewide referenda that have been placed on ballots across the country since 1998 - can be used to fund various phases of acquisition, planning, design and development for trails and greenways. Through our research, we have attempted to compile the latest information regarding funding; however, due to the changing nature of trails and greenways funding sources, we understand that this database will need to be continually updated.
