Dear members of the Statewide Trails Advisory Committee;
Please see the message below from the Coalition for Recreational Trails.
Congratulations also to NH’s trail community who made phenomenal efforts to educate our delegation on the value of NH’s trails and their impacts to people’s lives and local economies. We will continue to follow this as this is not a done deal in any way. However, it does demonstrate that the US House and Senate value trails in states over other items. Please remember to thank Senator Shaheen’s Office for their tremendous assistance with this floor amendment to dedicate RTP for the future.

Subject: Great News: RTP Success in the Senate!
We are delighted to report that the Manager’s Amendment to MAP-21, the Senate transportation bill, containing a modified version of U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s amendment continuing the Recreational Trails Program essentially unchanged, was accepted this afternoon on the Senate floor. This is a wonderful achievement!
We are very grateful to Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN) and her eight co-sponsors -- Michael Bennet (D-CO), Scott Brown (R -MA), Richard Burr (R-NC), James Risch (R-ID), Bernard Sanders (D-VT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and Mark Udall (D-CO). Please be sure to let them know how much the trails community appreciates their leadership and support.
And, of course, we are very grateful to all the members of the CRT and the CRT Council of Advisors, who delivered powerful messages of support for the RTP from all across the country. Congratulations on an incredible effort and an amazing success. Many told us this was an impossible mission, with the Congress and Administration so focused on program consolidation and opposition to non-highway spending. You showed them!
