Application Deadline

May 3, 2024

Summary

Regional Trails Program grants are intended to support the efforts of local governments, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations to plan, design, and construct multi-use trails and community connections.

Projects must be located partially or wholly in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and/or Philadelphia County in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and/or Mercer county in New Jersey.

Applicants may include state, county, municipal and city agencies and departments; nonprofit organizations; or any other group with the capacity to carry out such a project. Trails must be fully open to the public.

Common Eligible Projects

Eligible activities under this funding opportunity include planning and feasibility studies, design and engineering, and construction. Limited funding for right-of-way acquisition is also available. In combination with funding to support any of the above activities, expenses related to robust community engagement, as applicable, are also eligible. Projects must advance a part of the Circuit Trails network and/or a trailhead, gateway, and/or neighborhood connection to a Circuit Trail. Projects must be multi-use, supporting both pedestrian use as well as accommodating bicycles and/or wheeled mobility devices. If a trailhead, gateway, or neighborhood connection, this can be accomplished through a single facility or a combination of proximate facilities (e.g., a stairwell and ramp).
