The
Southeast Texas Hike and Bike Coalition supports the creation of a
network of recreational transportation trails throughout Jefferson,
Orange, Hardin Counties. The
Coalition works with and encourages local and county governments to
designate shared roads and to create dedicated paths that will appeal
to users of bicycles and other alternative forms of transportation.
Coalition
members promote safe riding habits and safe areas to ride. Members
believe that a network of trails will accomplish several important
goals for Southeast
Texas.
Make
our communities better places to live by creating and preserving open
spaces and
culturally
and
historically valuable areas
Protect the environment
Allow
non-motorized and handicapped access
Encourage
physical fitness
Create
new
recreational opportunities and increase tourism and
Strengthen
local economies
