This Just In! Good
News about Trail Funding!
Americans
for Responsible Recreational Access
Recreational
Trails Program
Miracles do happen in Washington,
even in July! After months of writing about it, we are pleased to
report to you that the Congress has finally passed the highway
authorization bill. This means the Recreational Trails Program has
been reauthorized for five more years with an increase in
authorized funding of $370,000,000.
This is a major accomplishment! Many
recreation groups have worked very hard to shepherd this program
through a very lengthy reauthorization process. The fact that
RTP was not only reauthorized but also received a significant
increase in authorized funding is very good news. ARRA
members have consistently been in touch with their Senators and
Representatives urging support for RTP, and this hard work has
finally paid off. Congratulations to all who have supported
this important program.
