SUPPORTING and FUNDING TRAILS

State by State: 20 years of RTP funding

ince 1993, the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) has made over $1 billion in Federal funding available to the States for local project funding, as well as environmental education and safety programs. Since 1993, the RTP has played an

S

essential role in over 20,500 trail-related projects nationwide, creating and improving urban greenways, nature centers, and trails for horse riding, hik- ing, mountain biking, and motorized recreation, as well as snow and water routes.

The table at right shows the num-

ber of projects funded plus the amount of funding for each State during the Federal Fiscal Years 1993-2013. It also shows the total RTP funds obligated by each State during the period. In addition, the “Total Other Funding” column shows how much additional match was provided by proj- ect sponsors. Note that the matching funds are generally higher than the 20 percent minimum required by RTP. In 12 States the match is higher than the total RTP funds apportioned.

Footnotes for the table:

1 State’s FY 2013 projects awaiting Federal approval 2 State’s Governor opted out of the RTP but obligated past funds 3 State’s Governor opted out of the RTP 4 State has not yet provided a breakdown of the number of FY 2013 projects 5 State’s FY 2013 projects are combined with an earlier or later fiscal year
