International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)
The Corps and IMBA recognize the following: That recreation on trail systems that connect waterways, parks, and neighborhoods benefits the community. That recreation promotes economic livelihood, providing jobs and economic stability for American communities. That recreation encourages physical and intellectual development of youth through outdoor recreation and educational activities. 80% of Corps recreation sites are within 50 miles of a large U.S. city, and IMBA and the Corps - Recognize the importance of preserving trail opportunities for urban fringe communities that are facing development pressures; - Have an established working relationship that has already helped facilitate moutain bicycling on Corps recreation sites. Therefore, The Corps and IMBA agree to partner at appropriate local, regional, and national levels to create, manage, and develop trail opportunities for mountain bicycling at Corps facilities.
