Recreational Trails Program

The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is a State-administered, federal aid program managed through the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department (OTRD) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in consultation with the Department of the Interior. The program began as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and is now included in SAFETEA-LU. The funds to build the SCIP Trails were provided by the OTRD.
