Snowmobile trail grooming from west yellowstone, montana

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $112,128.48 on June 20, 2025, through the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) to support snowmobile trail grooming operations in West Yellowstone, Montana. The Montana Department of Transportation received this formula grant to fund daily maintenance and grooming of 212 miles of designated snowmobile trails serving the West Yellowstone area. This funding represents eligible maintenance and restoration activities under the Recreational Trails Program, which supports both motorized and non-motorized recreational trail uses.

The award directly supports trail maintenance operations that enhance recreational infrastructure accessibility and user experiences for snowmobile enthusiasts in the region. As a formula grant under the Recreational Trails Program, the funds were allocated to Montana based on established state apportionment mechanisms and must be obligated within three years of the fiscal year allocation. The project exemplifies the program's core mission of developing and maintaining recreational trails and trail-related facilities through state-administered subgrants to qualified entities responsible for ongoing trail operations and upkeep.
