For the Spring Semester of 2020, the chapter is working on the design of a coast-to-coast bike trail known as the Sea to Shining Sea Trail. Using Maptitude (GIS), existing bike routes, and Google Maps, students are able to choose the most suitable routes across their assigned state for bicycle analysis and then connect each state to create our coast-to-coast trail.
