Building on the successes of GoToTrails and The Circuit Pipeline Tool over the last 8 years, Environmental Planning & Design (EPD) and the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) have developed a searchable state-wide Trail Implementation Manager (TIM) database which houses thousands of miles of trails within the Commonwealth along with significant attribute data about each segment (currently comprised of over 1,000 segments). The TIM will be introduced to the public for the first time through this session, giving attendees a first look and insight into the latest, most comprehensive trail implementation tool in Pennsylvania. This tool raises the bar on traditional trail management by geolocating, compiling and housing over 2,000 miles of trails, displayed in an interactive map and searchable database. This session will explore the trail management tool in all aspects: how the TIM came to be, the development of the tool, and how users will be able to engage with the database.
