Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Grant Applications and Information
ARRA encourages riders and groups to find out more about RTP grants and how to apply!
The RTP is a grant program for motorized and non-motorized trail and trail related infrastructure. Grants vary from state to state and typically range from $2,000 to $50,000 and, depending on the state, are available to private organizations including rider groups. Get more information, a guide to the program and a list of the RTP administrators in each state on ARRA's RTP Overview Page.
