Senior students assess the Ashuelot Rail Trail and explore the potential for bike commuting in the Monadnock Region

With guidance from Southwest Region Planning Commission, senior students assessed the Ashuelot Rail Trail, which leads from the Keene State College campus all the way to the Connecticut River in Hinsdale, NH.  Using GPS and GIS, students mapped trail conditions and created a final map of ‘ride-ability’ along the 22 mile route.  They also surveyed riders, walkers and other community members about their commuting habits.  The results are available as a final report on our Student Work page.
