Statewide statewide

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $481,839.79 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219), effective September 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2033. This award funds statewide program manager wages and travel expenses for fiscal years 2026-2028 to support the administration and management of Michigan's Recreational Trails Program activities.

Under this grant, MDOT will utilize funds to support administrative personnel costs and related travel necessary to oversee the state's recreational trail development, maintenance, and rehabilitation initiatives. The Recreational Trails Program provides formula-based funding to states for developing and maintaining recreational trails serving both motorized and non-motorized users, including trail construction, facility improvements, equipment acquisition, and educational programs. The awarded funding specifically sustains the personnel and operational capacity required for MDOT to effectively administer this federally funded program across Michigan during the designated fiscal period.
