Support RTP

FUNDING FOR RECREATIONAL TRAILS ON SENATE CHOPPING BLOCK!
Send letter today in support of the Recreational Trails Program.

Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber

The full Senate is gearing up to vote on its version of a transportation bill. U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced an amendment to H.R. 22, the DRIVE Act, which would eliminate the Transportation Alternatives Program.

This proposal would eliminate all funding for the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) because the RTP derives its funding from the Transportation Alternatives Program. RTP is an important funding source for the management of both motorized and non-motorized trail opportunities throughout the country.

As many of you know, BRC and many others worked hard in the early 1990s for the creation by Congress of the Recreational Trails Program. Trail users need to champion RTP!

BRC is joining with the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) in issuing a CODE RED partner alert. Please go to the AMA alert HERE and petition Congress to continue its support for recreational trails.

Thanks,

Don Amador
