Virginia requesting proposals for Recreational Trails Program projects
RICHMOND — The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation is requesting proposals for 2018 Recreational Trails Program projects. Approximately $1 million in federal funding assistance is available. Applications are due to DCR no later than 4 p.m. on July 19.
The Recreational Trails Program, or RTP, is a federal, matching reimbursement program established to construct and rehabilitate recreational trails and trail-related facilities. RTP requires 30 percent of available funding be used for motorized recreational trails, (ATVs, dirt bikes, off-road vehicles, etc.), 30 percent be used for nonmotorized recreational trails, and 40 percent be used for multiple-use trails (hiking, biking and equestrian use). The program requires a 20 percent match from applicants.
Guidance and the application are available at www.dcr.virginia.gov/recreational-planning/trailfnd.
