The Board of Selectmen created the Rail Trail Conversion Advisory Committee (RTCAC), to provide a mechanism for the Town to examine the conversion of an existing unused rail line in Sudbury to a recreational path and alternative transportation corridor. The Selectmen are committed to developing an overall project and vision for this rail trail conversion that can be supported by the entire community and are looking to this committee to help identify and address the many questions and concerns that residents of Sudbury may have about this project, as well as support the efforts of Town staff as they begin the technical process of studying the feasibility of such a rail trail conversion.

On July 28, 2015, the Board of Selectmen voted to disband and archive this committee.
