The Winnipeg Trails Association is an organization dedicated to the development of sustainability in Winnipeg, primarily through active transportation. Main activities of the WTA related to transportation include: academic research and data collection; infrastructure usage audits; project management and implementation; transportation infrastructure design; and policy development, among others. Founded in 2003 and incorporated as a non-profit in 2017, the WTA says that its biggest priority for the past 5 years has been to "accelerate trail development" into downtown Winnipeg; to incorporate "sustainable transportation in long term planning, including inevitable connections along major commercial corridors;" and to fix the considerable "lack of recreational and transportation options in Winnipeg’s Northwest quadrant."
