NTEC > A 1997 TE grant of approximately $618,000 restored this historic depot in Bedford, the trail's northwest terminus. The Minuteman Bikeway is an 11-mile rail-trail that connects Cambridge with Bedford, passing through Lexington and Arlington. This project converted an abandoned railroad, which provided passenger and freight service from 1846 to 1981 (Passenger service discontinued in 1977), into a multi-use bikeway. Over $2 million in federal TE funds were awarded to four projects that leveraged a total local match of nearly $530,000 to construct portions of the trail. Connecting to the Alewife T Station in Cambridge, this bikeway serves as a regional connector providing pedestrians and bicyclists with access to subway and bus service. In addition, plowing in the winter makes the rail-trail accessible year-round. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy inducted the Minuteman Bikeway into the national Rails-Trail Hall of Fame in 2008. An interactive Google Map is available here.

NTEC > Welcome Center railroad depot on Silver Comet Trail The Silver Comet Trail, one of the most popular spots in northwest Georgia for outdoor recreation and bicycle commuting, sprouted from an abandoned rail corridor between Atlanta and the Alabama state line. In the early 1990s, a group of private citizens and non-profit organizations, including the PATH Foundation and the Georgia Rails to Trails Society, spearheaded the development of the trail, working with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the three counties adjacent to the trail: Cobb, Paulding and Polk. GDOT purchased the 57-mile corridor in 1992 from CSX for $5.8 million. Today, the trail passes through three Georgia counties and connects with the Chief Ladiga Trail in Cleburne County, Alabama. These two trails combined run over 100 miles and form the longest paved trail in the United States. Development of the Silver Comet Trail was supported by TE grants in 1998 ($695,000 with a $173,750 local match from the City of Rockmart), 2000 ($400,000 with a $202,840 local match from the Cobb County DOT; $50,000 with a $12,500 local match from the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce; and $959,000 with a $239,750 local match from Polk County), 2001 ($875,000 with a $343,200 local match from GDOT), and 2004 ($750,000 with a local match of $187,500 from the Cobb County DOT). The grants and matches total $4,888,540. Learn more about The Silver Comet Trail at http://www.silvercometga.com/ and http://www.silvercomet.org/.
