Ever wonder what happens to the gasoline taxes you pay at the pump—for
your off-road motorcycle or ATV, your snowmobile or 4x4? Did you know
that the federal gasoline tax goes to fund a variety of programs one
of which is the Recreational Trails Program (RTP)? RTP is an
increasingly important program because every year, as more and more
Americans seek to use recreational trails for a variety of activities,
these funds are used to construct and maintain recreational trails
helping to make them safer.

Funding levels for RTP are currently being considered by the House of
Representatives, H.R. 3550. This bill includes even greater funding
for RTP than the Senate bill which passed just recently. RTP funding
would start at $70 million annually and grow to $150 million over the
next five years. ARRA followed the funding debate for RTP when it was
being considered by the Senate and is following the debate even closer
as it is now being taken up by the House of Representatives.

Your Member of Congress needs to hear from you now as funding levels
are being decided.

ARRA supports responsible recreation and would like Congress to fairly
and adequately fund the Recreational Trails Program. So get involved
by writing to your Representative and expressing your support for
better recreational trails. Click the below link to write your
Representative.

As stated below, RTP is an outstanding program that gets some OHV gas
tax money back into OHV projects. (The program splits money between
dedicated motorized, dedicated non-motorized and multiple use
[motorized and non-motorized] trails and projects.) Please support it
by contacting your representatives and letting them know you want RTP
funded to the fullest extent.
