COLUMBUS, Ohio (WDTN) - The Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced that 14 recreational trails in Ohio have been selected to share a total of $1,689,759 in federal funds through the Recreational Trails Program.

ODNR received 66 grant applications, and the agency awarded funding to 14 projects. More than 170 local trail projects across the state have received more than $21 million in federal funds through ODNR since the grant program began in 1993. A few examples of criteria for projects receiving funding included: justification of trail need, trail linkages and public participation.

Funding for Recreational Trails Program comes from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration through a portion of the federal motor fuel excise tax collected from non-highway recreational fuel use.
