Summary

RTP Grant Administrator Evan Beitsch said $780,926 is available for motorized and non‑motorized RTP projects; council agreed to a virtual post‑hours RTP review meeting, and discussed fast‑tracking unfunded OHVR applicants to the RTP portal if they meet NEPA requirements before the April 1 deadline.

Evan Beitsch, RTP Grant Administrator, briefed the council on available RTP funding and options to support projects that fall below the OHVR funding line. Beitsch said the RTP allocation available for the period is $780,926 to cover motorized and non‑motorized trail infrastructure, equipment, acquisitions, and education initiatives. He explained that the RTP deadline is April 1 and proposed that projects falling below the OHVR funding line could be fast‑tracked or redirected to the RTP portal provided applicants could meet federal NEPA compliance and other RTP requirements.

Council members agreed that a virtual RTP review meeting should be held after working hours to evaluate motorized RTP applications. The council also discussed scheduling the motorized RTP meeting date as a separate action item and noted the need to coordinate with applicants to ensure timely NEPA documentation if redirection to RTP is used as a pathway for partially funded projects.
