IMBA's RTP Campaign: Go Get the Money!
Thanks to an outpouring of support from the trails community, the 109th Congress dedicated $370 million to the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) over five years - $144 million more than last time. That's a lot of singletrack... if you go get the money!
This online toolkit is designed to make it easy for your club to apply for funding. RTP may be the answer to your trail problems, but nobody will come knocking on your door with a box of money. You have to put some effort to developing and funding mountain bike opportunities. Other IMBA clubs have gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars using this program and you can too.
