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.
