Active Trans is an invaluable resource for DuPage County. The organization’s work coordinating regional discussions on issues from long-range transportation planning to Safe Routes to School is extremely important. While it is not visible to the average bicyclist or walker, we all benefit from the results.

— Deborah Jan Fagan, former chief planner and county trail system coordinator for DuPage County Department of Economic Development and Planning
