Let’s Play. Funding sources and ideas for grant writing, projects, proposals for trails, railtrails, outdoor recreation routes, accessibility, and greenways. Recreation, Conservation, and Salmon Grant Programs - Recreational Trails Program (RTP)- Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. The Recreational Trails Program provides funds to rehabilitate and maintain recreational trails and facilities that provide a backcountry experience for motorized and nonmortorized uses.

Every 6 years, Congress passes the nation’s surface transportation bill. Since 1991, this massive funding authorization law has included provisions for cooperative, state-administered grants called the Recreational Trails Program. In Washington State, these grants support a backcountry experience, which means that the trail’s physical setting, not its distance from a city or road, should be predominately natural. For example, a backcountry trail can provide views of cities or towns. Backcountry also means that the user will experience nature as opposed to seeing or hearing evidence of human development and activity.

This landmark legislation, passed in 1990, and subsequent funding have come about through the support of Governors, the Legislature, and groups such as the many organizations comprising the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition.
