Allegheny Trail Alliance

The Allegheny Trail Alliance (ATA) was formed in 1995 as a coalition of seven autonomous, volunteer-driven trail organizations in southwestern Pennsylvania and western Maryland to build, steward, maintain, and promote the Great Allegheny Passage, a spectacular 150-mile rail-trail from Cumberland, Md., through Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, to Pittsburgh, at the forks of the Ohio River.  

The Great Allegheny Passage is diligently cared for and enjoyed by people from both urban and rural communities. Your gift to the ATA might help keep bridge decking in top condition, or be used to prevent washouts along steep hillsides.  It can orient first-time travelers to the joy of GAP day trips and overnighters.  It might show former railroad towns just the right bike-friendly ways to cater to cyclists.  It can help update wayfinding signage, so you can get right where you need to go on your next hike or long-distance run. Donations are tax-deductible.  Thank you for considering, and enjoy the Great Allegheny Passage Relay!
