A Tale of Two Urban Trails: Promoting Physical Activity and Active Transportation on the Texas Border – AT
January 22 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join us for an engaging presentation on the transformative power of two urban trails along the Texas border. This session will delve into how the Caracara Trails in Brownsville and the Paso del Norte Trail in El Paso promote physical activity and active transportation in these communities. Urban trails offer an accessible and inviting environment for residents to engage in physical activity outdoors and offer practical and environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. Participants will learn how these trails provide vital opportunities for walking, jogging, and cycling, leading to improved health and overall wellness. Additionally, they will learn the role of urban trails in promoting active transportation by connecting key neighborhoods, public transit hubs, and commercial areas. Finally, we will discuss plans and strategies to help mitigate extreme heat on the trails.
