Southwest regional recreation authority - north district equipment purchase

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $187,365.63 to the Virginia Department of Transportation on August 14, 2025, under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) to support the Southwest Regional Recreation Authority's North District equipment purchase initiative. The award funds the acquisition of trail construction and maintenance equipment, including an excavator, dozer, truck, and mulcher, to support ongoing operations of the motorized trail system in the North District. This equipment purchase aligns with the Recreational Trails Program's authorized uses for acquiring trail construction and maintenance equipment that supports both motorized and nonmotorized recreational trail development and maintenance activities.

As a formula grant distributed to states under the Recreational Trails Program, this award represents federal allocation from motor fuel excise tax revenues designated to enhance recreational trail infrastructure and access. The equipment procured through this grant will enable the North District to effectively maintain and expand trail facilities serving recreational users across Virginia.
