In Annapolis today, Governor Hogan announced $16.8M in grants to fund 42 projects with a focus on designing bike lanes, rebuilding trails, and improving multi-modal connectivity.
The funding package is composed of three main parts:

- $1M through the Recreational Trails Program (RTP)
- $3.4M in state funding through the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Kim Lamphier Bikeways Network Program.
“‘Over the last year and a half, more and more Marylanders have been walking, riding bikes, and using trails for transportation, recreation, and exercise,’ said Governor Larry Hogan. ‘These grants, made possible through the federal and state programs, are helping us enhance quality of life and provide additional safe bike and pedestrian opportunities’” (Governor Press Release).
In addition to the $16.8M awarded to these 42 projects, “Howard County was awarded $1.1 million in bikeway design funds for a shared-use path network along Ten Oaks Road, Guilford Road, and MD 108/Clarksville Pike” (Governor Press Release).
