Congress would declare trail programs deserve full funding from gas taxes.
This bill would formally state that programs for hiking, biking, and other trails are not getting all the money they should from gas taxes. It says these programs should receive the full amount collected from non-highway vehicle fuel. This is about $281 million each year, instead of the current $84 million. This declaration aims to support more funding to improve trails across the country.
Today, the Recreational Trails Program gets about $84 million each year from fuel taxes paid by non-highway vehicle users. However, about $281 million is collected from these taxes and goes into the Highway Trust Fund. After this bill, Congress would formally state that the program should receive the full $281 million, and would ask for better accounting of these funds from the Federal Highway Administration.
