The U.S. Department of Transportation released its 2016 Recreational Trails Program Annual Report on the use and benefits of Federal Recreational Trails Program (RTP) funds across the United States. The RTP Database, funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), provides an online record of data for over 21,350 projects. Users can search the database by state, county, Congressional District, trail name, project name, permissible use category, and year awarded, and can print reports from the search results.

FHWA has also released FY2017 Recreational Trail state apportionments.
