May 27, 2009, Long Lake, NY – NYSSA urges Congress to support the continuation of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Recreation Trails Program (RTP grants). These grants have provided necessary funding for development and maintenance of recreational trails throughout New York State since 1991.
The Recreation Trails Program is funded by returning a portion of the highway use taxes that are collected from off-road fuel purchases. In New York alone, the RTP grants help to support the $1 billion in annual economic impact across the state.
