Identify the issue: Determine the specific maintenance problem on the trail, such as potholes, debris, or damaged infrastructure.
Gather information: Collect details about the location of the issue, including the trail name, nearest intersection, and a description of the problem.
Take photos: If possible, take photos of the affected area to provide visual evidence of the issue.
Contact the appropriate agency: Depending on the location of the trail, contact the local park or trail maintenance department, or the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Northeast Regional Director, Tom Sexton, for assistance in reporting the issue.
Provide necessary details: Include your name, daytime phone, and email address when reporting the issue to allow for follow-up communication.
By following these steps, you can help ensure that maintenance issues are addressed promptly, improving the safety and enjoyment of the trails for all users.
