The '''East Coast Greenway''' is a {{convert|3000|mi|adj=on}} pedestrian and bicycle route between [[Maine]] and [[Florida]] along the [[East Coast of the United States]]. The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991 with the goal to use the entire route with off-road, [[shared-use path]]s; {{As of|2021|lc=on}}, over {{cvt|1000|mi|}} of the route (35%) meets these criteria.<ref name="2020-report" /> In 2020, the Greenway received over 50 million visits.<ref name="2020-report" />

==History==
[[File:ECGW Cabot Tour 9 truck jeh.jpg|thumb|Looking east as a Greenway tour approaches the bridge over the [[Hackensack River]] in New Jersey]]
In 1991, a group of cyclists and [[long-distance trail]] enthusiasts met in [[New York City]] and formed a national non-profit organization, the East Coast Greenway Alliance (ECGA), to plan and promote a greenway linking existing and planned trails into a contiguous "spine route" between Atlantic coast cities.

In summer 1992, the ECGA sent nine cyclists from [[Boston]], New York City, [[Vermont]], and [[Washington, D.C.]], on a 30-day "exploratory" [[Bicycle touring|cycle tour]].

In 1993, tours went along the route to explore options and promote the idea of the greenway. In 1994, the first promotional tour took place from [[Maine]] to Washington, D.C. "East Coast Greenway" became a trademark in 1995.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

The first five trail segments were designated in 1996. These segments were the [[Baltimore & Annapolis Trail]] in [[Maryland]], the Charter Oak Greenway in [[Connecticut]], the Coventry Greenway in [[Rhode Island]], the [[Farmington Canal Heritage Trail|Farmington Canal Greenway]] in Connecticut, and the [[D&R Canal Trail|Delaware & Raritan Canal Trail]] in [[New Jersey]]. These trails make up {{convert|56|mi}} of the greenway.

Between 1997 and 2000, about {{convert|150|mi}} of trail segments were designated throughout the region. In 2000, Amtrak became a partner, helping to open access to various parts of the route. Between February and June 2000, the ECG Wave non-motorized relay carried a bottle of seawater from Key West to [[Canada]] along the route of the ECG. From 2001 to 2004, another {{convert|173|mi}} were designated, and multiple states stepped in to help finalize their section of the route. This brought in more partnerships with government organizations, such as [[New Jersey Department of Transportation|NJDOT]], that would be essential for trail development. In 2003, members of the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] and the [[United States Senate|Senate]] signed letters to [[George W. Bush|President Bush]] in support of the greenway.

In 2004, seven cyclists rode the entire route, from Key West to Calais, in 55 days. Later that year, the first Maine-to-Florida tour was held; four cyclists completed the event in 52 days, raising $75,000. In the following years, more people would complete the ride outside of ECG events. A 2005 [[GQ|''GQ'' magazine]] article about a ride by [[Wil S. Hylton|Wil Hylton]] brought national attention to the greenway.

The entire spine route was finalized and mapped in 2008. The accessibility of the trail expanded with support of the states, and more events were held each year.

In 2020, the route reached over {{convert|1000|mi|km}} of completed off-road greenway.<ref name="2020-report">{{Cite web |date=2021-01-01 |title=East Coast Greenway Alliance 2020 Annual Report |url=https://www.greenway.org/uploads/attachments/ckr0tel6ac4wu7dqik0llwppl-2020-annual-report.pdf |access-date=2021-08-29 |website=East Coast Greenway}}</ref> Efforts to increase the amount of off-road routes are continuing. In 2020 the greenway received over 50 million visits.<ref name="2020-report" />

On June 25, 2021, the [[North Carolina General Assembly]] passed a law adding the state's section of the greenway as its tenth [[List of North Carolina state parks#State Trails|State Trail]].<ref name=SL2021-54 />

The trail splits in [[Bladensburg, Maryland]], just before it reaches Washington, D.C. Travelers can follow the [[Metropolitan Branch Trail]], which runs past [[Union Station (Washington, D.C.)|Union Station]]; or the [[Anacostia Riverwalk Trail]], which follows the [[Anacostia River]] past the [[Washington Navy Yard]]. The two trails rejoin at the National Mall, the ECG's official midpoint, then head for Virginia via the [[Arlington Memorial Bridge]] over the [[Potomac River]]. Just under half of the {{convert|8|mi|0|adj=on}} segment through the District is off-road; the downtown area offers no off-road option.<ref name="dc">{{cite web | url=http://www.greenway.org/explore-by-state/dc | title=Washington, D.C. | publisher=East Coast Greenway | work=Explore By State | access-date=June 15, 2016 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118040059/http://www.greenway.org/explore-by-state/dc | archive-date=November 18, 2015 }}</ref>

== East Coast Greenway Alliance ==
The East Coast Greenway Alliance (ECGA) is a nonprofit organization that oversees, but does not own, the greenway. The Alliance is based in [[Durham, North Carolina]], next to the [[American Tobacco Trail]]. Six Greenway coordinators work remotely in their regions.

The Alliance coordinates the Greenway's growth by working with local, state, regional, and national organizations and agencies. The Alliance is in charge of designating new trail segments and finding routes for the greenway, posting signs designating the path, spreading awareness of the project, and providing maps and information about the greenway.

ECGA advocates for safe access to bike paths on roadways and bridges, as well as convenient access to public transportation for cyclists. In addition, the Alliance promotes the use of alternate transportation, such as use of greenways.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.greenway.org/pdf/StrategicPlanExecSummary_web.pdf| title=Strategic Plan| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160615145539/http://www.greenway.org/pdf/StrategicPlanExecSummary_web.pdf| archive-date=2016-06-15| url-status=dead}}</ref>
