Rainbow_Routes_Association
Rainbow Routes Association (RRA) is an incorporated, not-for-profit organization and registered charity. The organization is dedicated to sustainable mobility through the development and promotion of active transportation routes in the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, and is the local representative for the Trans Canada Trail.[1]
Incorporated in 1998, Rainbow Routes has built recreational and commuter routes—200 kilometres winding throughout the city—for residents and tourists to enjoy by walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing.[2] They provide free trail maps that are available throughout Greater Sudbury at tourist information centres, libraries and at their website.[3]
This organization maintains a legal agreement with the city to build non-motorized trails, renewable every five years.
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan for the organization identifies high level priorities in:
- Infrastructure development of non-motorized routes and trails;
- Promotion of routes, active transportation and sustainable mobility;
- Partnerships and collaborations to identify needs and maximize opportunities;
- Sustainable operations with a strong volunteer network.
