ADVOCACY UPDATE continued from page 29

that 10 percent of the transportation funding provided to states must be spent on
" transportation enhancement " projects,
including trails, beautification, etc. The
Mica proposal would consolidate 100 current transportation-related programs into
30, and would no longer require states to
" spend highway funding on non-highway
activities, " though states would be allowed
to continue spending on such things as bicycle paths and trails at their discretion,
provided they meet performance measures. Generally speaking, Mica's proposal would create greater competition
for limited funds, eliminate line-item funding for trails, and would also eliminate the
requirement that 10 percent of the transportation money provided to the states be
used for enhancement projects.
Finally, the Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee Chairman,

The Trust Fund is not currently
generating enough revenue to pay
for a straight two-year extension.
Barbara Boxer (D-CA), has shared her intention to introduce their own version of
the bill, and while she has stated a commitment to maintaining " dedicated funding " for TE and the Recreational Trails
Program, her attempts at crafting a bipartisan measure are meeting with tough
opposition from committee Republicans.
Indications are the Senate is leaning toward a shorter, two-year reauthorization
based on existing funding levels. However, the Trust Fund is not currently generating enough revenue to pay for a straight
two-year extension. The shortfall for the
second year of the bill would be as much

as $5.6 billion, indicating there are going
to have to be spending cuts.
Obviously, there is plenty at stake and
the two chambers are currently far apart
on agreeing to a reauthorization proposal. Trails funding is certainly under attack, and we encourage NRPA members
to reach out to members of Congress
and share with them the importance of
the funding to their state and local communities.
