The Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail (RIATT) is a 3.8-mile-long paved walking, running, biking, rolling, and scooting trail that links the communities of Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, and College Park; and borders Edmonston, University Park and Berwyn Heights. The paved trail is on the former path of streetcar Number 82 from Washington, DC to Laurel, Maryland. Now as a popular commuter and recreational trail, the historic trolley line continues to connect communities. Efforts are underway to extend the Trolley Trail south to Washington, DC through North Brentwood, Brentwood, and Mt. Rainier along U.S. Route 1.
