----THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT IN YOUR NAME----
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
The House of Representatives is presently considering H.R. 3,
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. There is a
provision in this legislation that I have a particular interest
in and that is the Recreational Trails Program (RTP). As a
constituent and supporter of responsible recreation, I want the
Recreational Trails Program to be fairly and adequately funded.
The RTP was established in 1991 as a part of ISTEA and improved
through TEA-21. This program utilizes a portion of the federal
tax receipts attributable to off-highway recreational activities
including ATV riding, motorcycling, snowmobiling and 4x4s for
purposes of maintaining and improving recreational trails
throughout the country. Since its inception, literally millions
of Americans have benefited from the recreational trails that
have been developed and maintained in every state of the union
with monies from this program. And, it is important to note that
these trails are developed for both motorized and non-motorized
recreation.
H.R. 3 provides $380 million for RTP in FY 2006-2009. Because
of the importance of this program and the fact that every year
more and more Americans seek to use recreational trails for a
variety of activities, I believe that H.R. 3 and RTP deserve
your support. The Federal Highway Administration's most recent
estimate of the amount of tax revenue generated by off-highway
recreational activities is $286 million annually. Investing a
small portion of revenue from off-highway generated taxes to
improve the safety of such activities by constructing and
maintaining recreational trails is an appropriate use of these
monies.
----END OF LETTER TO BE SENT----
Sincerely,
Patrick Kinne
