[Talk-us] Rails-to-Trails data

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hi all,

I see that Rails-to-Trails Conservancy donated their GIS data to Google:

https://www.railstotrails.org/our-work/trail-mapping-and-gis/

Anyone in the US fancy asking if they might do the same for OSM? Our 
coverage is good on the major trails (Katy Trail, Coeur d'Alenes, etc.), 
but often missing for smaller or less frequented trails, and I believe 
RTC have some metadata (surfaces etc.) it'd be good to have. Since most 
cycling apps and websites use OSM data it should be a win for RTC to 
have better data in OSM.

I'm happy to approach them if no-one else does, but it'd probably be 
better coming from, you know, someone on the same continent.

cheers
Richard
