INTRODUCTION
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 included the
National Recreational Trails Fund Act (NRFTA) established the National Recreational
Trails Funding Program. The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 (NHS
Act) amended and revived the NRTFA. The Transportation Equity Act for the 215t Century

biking, overnight and long distance backpacking, roller skating, in -line skating,
running, aquatic or water activity and vehicular travel by motorcycle, four-wheel
drive, all terrain off -road vehicles, or dune buggies.
The RTP is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in
coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). Grant application proposals are evaluated according to policies and procedures
described in Chapter 62S-2, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). This is commonly
known as the Rec Trails Rule. Applicants should familiarize themselves with these policies
and procedures. This packet will assist all applicants in preparing and presenting the
