2 OREGON TRAILS 2015: A VISION FOR THE FUTURE The Oregon Statewide Trails Plan

3 Why do a trails plan? Oregon statewide trails plan is at end of 10-year planning horizon. RTP regulations require states to have a plan in place to remain eligible. Need for an administrative framework to identify and determine level of assistance for trails of regional significance. Need for developing a designated structure for water trail development. Need to establish a review process to identify potential Scenic Waterway corridor additions. Need to update ATV and RTP grant program evaluation criteria.

4

5 Statewide Survey: State scale highest priority need for: Dirt & other soft surface trails & paths (3.8) Public access sites to waterways (3.5) Nature & wildlife viewing areas (3.4) Children s natural play areas (3.3) Picnic areas & shelters for small visitor groups (3.3) Off-street bicycle trails & pathways (3.3)

6 Please rate the importance of funding need...
