RTP Grant Program Extended to End of 2010

March 31, 2010

Tucked into a bill that was signed by President Obama on March 18th was language extending the Transportation Budget.

The good news is that the law extends the funding through December 31, 2010.

What that means to snowmobilers is the Recreational Trails Program (RTP), which returns a portion of the federal gas taxes we pay for gas that we put in our snowmobiles, continues for the next 9 months. These monies are crucial to trail funding, maintenance, signing, grooming, etc.

This gives Congress the rest of the year to write and pass a comprehensive new 5-6 year law.
