Garyville PED-bike-transit trailhead

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Transportation & Development Louisiana D $290,245 under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) on August 20, 2025, for the Garyville Ped-Bike-Transit Trailhead project. The project scope encompasses the construction of a trailhead facility with associated amenities including restrooms, lighting, seating, and bike racks. This investment aligns with the Recreational Trails Program's authorized uses for development and rehabilitation of trailhead facilities that support non-motorized recreational access. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027, and will be performed in Louisiana.

As a formula grant administered through Louisiana's state transportation agency, this award represents targeted federal funding for multimodal trail infrastructure that enhances recreational access and pedestrian/bicycle connectivity. The trailhead facility will serve as a hub for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit users, providing essential amenities to support safe and convenient recreational trail use consistent with the program's objectives of developing trail-related facilities for both motorized and non-motorized users.
