The Otero County Prescription Trails Program and Guide were developed through a New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) and the University of New Mexico Center for Injury Prevention Research and Education (CIPRE) Pedestrian Safety and Walkability Initiative with the Otero County Walkability Advocacy Group (OWAG).

The mission of OWAG and its community partners is to increase the awareness of pedestrian safety and walkability concerns within Otero County and to provide our residents with the best information about elements that make our community walkable and safe.
