RTP Full Funding Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# RTP Full Funding Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does** The RTP Full Funding Act of 2025 would provide full federal funding for the Recreation Trails Program (RTP), which grants money to states for building and maintaining recreational trails. These trails are used for activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, and other outdoor recreation. Currently, the program receives partial funding, and this bill would increase federal support to fully finance it. **Who It Affects** The bill would benefit state governments, local communities, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, and trail maintenance organizations.
States would have more resources to develop new trails and maintain existing ones, potentially improving public access to outdoor recreation in both urban and rural areas. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
