Active transportation and recreation grant program.

HB 48 allocates $40 million from Wyoming's general fund to create two grant programs focused on active transportation and recreation. Ninety percent of the funds (for the Wyoming Department of Transportation) supports projects like bike paths, school pedestrian routes, sidewalks, and walkable downtown corridors, while ten percent (for the Department of State Parks) funds natural surface trails for hiking and horseback riding. All projects require a 20% local match from applicants and must be administered by state agencies by June 30, 2025. The bill directly affects local governments, school districts, and community organizations seeking to improve safe, non-motorized travel infrastructure.
