"This is an important step in making public lands and waters more accessible for all. Inadequate public transit to public lands limits puts the positive benefits of spending time in nature out of reach for too many."
- @JackieOstfeld

"We welcome this announcement and call on Congress to take additional steps to ensure that all people are able to exercise their right to experience nature."
- @JackieOstfeld

"It’s exciting to see this valuable partnership to promote clean and affordable transportation to national parks, which will improve access to nature and slash climate-disrupting emissions."
- @katherinejulia

"We urge for more to be done -- through passage of the Transit to Trails Act -- so that these trips are not only limited to people with the means or desire to own a car."
