Act now by sending a letter to keep the Recreational Trails Program off the chopping block!
The BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) and the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) are reporting that the United States Senate is preparing to vote on its version of a transportation bill in which U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced an amendment to H.R. 22, the DRIVE Act, which would eliminate the Transportation Alternatives Program.
This proposal would kill all funding for the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) because the RTP derives its funding from the Transportation Alternatives Program. The Recreational Trails Program is considered to be an important funding source for the management of both motorized and non-motorized trail opportunities throughout the country. The RTP provides funds annually for recreational trails and trails-related projects. It is administered at the federal level by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
BRC and many other land use organizations worked with Congress in the early 1990s to create the Recreational Trails Program, and BRC is joining with the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) in issuing a code red partner alert. You can visit the AMA alert and petition Congress to continue its support for recreational trails through the Recreational Trails Program.
