Here is update from Ohio contact
I have attached a Word version of the RTP application to this email. During a normal grant cycle approximately $468,000.00 goes towards motorized recreational trails, $624,000.00 goes to diverse trails, and $468,000.00 goes towards non-motorized trails.
We are currently taking motorized applications in a special funding round, which ends on May 31, 2013. We have a total of $412,000.00 in motorized funding that we would like to authorize this year.
I am a little confused as to the different organization that are represented by the program. The RTP program is a federal grant program that receives its funding from the current federal transportation bill (MAP-21). It does not represent any particular organizations. It only awards grant dollars for the construction of recreational trails (non-motorized and motorized), support facilities, and land acquisitions associated with recreational trail use.
I hope that this information is helpful and if I can help you in any other way please let me know.
Thank you,
