Recreational Trails Program needs your help! 

Congress is set to begin debate on legislation that funds the Recreational Trails Program (RTP).  Literally millions of Americans have benefited from the recreational trails that have been developed and maintained in every state of the union through this program.  And, it is important to note that these trails are both motorized and non-motorized.

The BlueRibbon Coalition was instrumental in the establishment of this program initially in 1991. Since that time the program has been fully funded and reauthorized as an integral part of our national transportation program. The current Congress is considering a new reauthorization of this program.

For those of us who enjoy trail-based recreation, be it on hiking, biking, ATV, off-highway motorcycles, snowmobile, equestrian, cross-county skiing or any other type of trail, this is one of the most crucial issues that Congress will act upon this year which directly affects you!

Let your Representatives know that you support investing money from taxes on gasoline being used in off-highway vehicles to improve the safety, construction and maintenance of recreational trails through the Recreational Trails Program.
