Welcome to ITAC!

Welcome to the Indiana Trails Advocates Coalition forum.

This space is designed to help advocates, professionals, volunteers, and community members connect, share information, and coordinate efforts to build and sustain stronger trail systems across Indiana. Whether you are here to organize action, ask questions, share updates, or celebrate progress, we’re glad you’re part of the community.

Below is a quick guide to the main categories so you can find the right place for your post:

  • Ribbon Cuttings
    Share details about upcoming ribbon cutting ceremonies and trail openings. Use this space to invite the community to celebrate new trail milestones together.
  • Calls to Action
    Post clear, time-sensitive requests for advocacy support. This is where you can mobilize others to contact decision-makers, attend meetings, or take other specific actions that move trail projects forward.
  • Technical Support
    Ask questions and share expertise related to planning, building, maintaining, and improving trails. This includes topics like land acquisition, design, infrastructure, vendor recommendations, and public art.
  • State Legislative News
    Share updates and discussion about state-level legislation affecting trails and active transportation. Please search before posting to avoid duplicates, and keep all updates on the same bill within a single thread.

We encourage respectful, constructive discussion across all categories. Please post in the most relevant section to help keep the forum organized and useful for everyone.

If you think a new category would be helpful, or have suggestions for improving the forum, please message the admins. We’re always open to ideas that help strengthen this community.

The chat feature is a space for real-time conversation, quick coordination, and informal discussion among members. It’s best used for brainstorming, clarifying questions, and connecting with others in the moment, while keeping more structured updates and resources in the forum categories.
