Recreational Trails Program is sponsored by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a federal grant program that provides funding for the development, renovation, and maintenance of recreational trails and trailside facilities for both motorized and non-motorized uses. Funds are distributed to states by a legislative formula, and each state administers its own program.
Projects can include maintenance, restoration, development of facilities, equipment purchase, new trail construction (with restrictions on federal lands), and acquisition of easements or property. States must use 30% of their funds for motorized trail uses, 30% for non-motorized trail uses, and 40% for diverse trail uses. The maximum federal share is generally 80%, requiring a minimum 20% non-federal match.
