Active transportation spines are facilities built for active transportation, including sidewalks, bikeways, and pedestrians and bicycle trails, that connect between communities, metropolitan regions, or State. An active transportation spine can include a rail trail or rail-with-trail, walking path, or bike route and must connect between two or more communities, metropolitan regions, or States. An active transportation spine can be considered a backbone or primary active transportation route through a particular area or region.
