The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $103,750.00 on July 16, 2025, under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) to the Montana Department of Transportation to support recreational trail development and maintenance in Montana. The Montana Department of Transportation serves as the pass-through recipient administering the formula grant to eligible trail projects within the state.

The award funds the Seeley Lake Nordic Ski Club to deliver trail grooming and maintenance services across 16 miles of recreational trails in the Seeley Lake area. Specific products and services include winter Nordic ski trail grooming, summer trail clearing and maintenance, and acquisition of a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) for trail construction and maintenance equipment. These deliverables align with the Recreational Trails Program's authorized uses, which encompass trail maintenance and restoration, trail-related facility development, and purchase of trail maintenance equipment. The funding supports recreational access for non-motorized trail users while enhancing trail infrastructure and operational capacity.
