NWTA actively works with land managers and partners to advocate for access to the outdoors through mountain biking/off-road cycling. Our vision is to not only maintain existing access, but to support efforts to bring new off-road cycling trails of all types to our communities. A primary advocacy goal of NWTA to also make the mountain bike experience welcoming and accessible for all.
We represent a collective mountain biking/off-road cycling community voice in the regional area, and are actively involved in working with local land partners.
Advocacy Alerts
NWTA’s advocacy work also involves keeping YOU — our members, donors and supporters — appraised of where you can use your voice to speak for trails, bike access, and conservation. Two areas in particular our staff and volunteers pay attention to:
- Public input in a huge part of the process for federal, state and local planning processes. In fact, it is often a legal requirement of permitting and planning processes that moves a project from concept to execution.
- State and federal legislation is proposed that affects public lands, trails, bike access, or nonprofits.
