trail

Transportation is the most polluting economic sector in Maine, accounting for nearly 50% of the state's carbon emissions. But greener transit alternatives, such as biking and mass transit, are competing for limited funding and, in some cases, the same physical space.

A coalition of outdoor groups this morning launched a new campaign supporting the $30 million trail bond on the November ballot.

Supporters say the money is urgently needed after recent storms and floods caused severe trail damage around the state.
