    This funding will support 25 different community projects. The goal is to improve safety and boost local economies.

    Federal and State Funds Target Key Improvements

    More than $6.2 million comes from federal programs. The Recreational Trails Program provided $450,000 for four projects.

       

    These include upgrades in Greenbrier State Park and Garrett County. A new mobility mat for Betterton Beach is also funded.

    The Transportation Alternatives Program awarded $5.8 million. It funds ten projects, including key Safe Routes to School efforts.

    This includes a major repair of a 20-mile C&O Canal towpath section. The work will happen in Washington County.

    The state’s bikeways program provided nearly $2 million. It is funding 12 separate projects across Maryland.

    This year, the program expanded its eligibility rules. It now includes maintenance for existing bike routes.

    It also funds “Complete Streets” conversions at busy intersections. These changes make areas safer for all users.

    Ten design projects in various cities will improve park and school access. Additional projects in Hyattsville and Easton will add bike parking.

    This major investment underscores Maryland’s commitment to sustainable transportation and community safety. The new Maryland bike trail grants will directly enhance the lives of residents and visitors alike.
