Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $2,315,626 FY 2014: $2,333,021 FY 2015: $2,286,247 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs : 4.62% Federal public road miles: 981.9 Number of Federal public bridges: 59 Recreational visitation: 68,632,828 visitors per year 

Success story: Suwannee Canal Road Resurface and Bike Path, Charlton County, Georgia- This project consists of resurfacing 4.1 miles of Suwannee Canal Road and bicycle path development from Highway 121 to Okefenokee Adventures in Charlton County, GA. The project work includes asphalt pavement resurfacing, asphalt leveling course, culvert replacements, and other miscellaneous work. The project will also add 3-foot bicycle paths on both sides of the roadway. The roadway cross section will consist of two 10-foot lanes with 3-foot bicycle lanes on both side of the roadway once the project is completed. The parking area at the west terminus will be paved and additional parking spaces will be added. Suwannee Canal Road is the only public road access to Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge that provides recreational opportunities to locals, state, national and international visitors for biking, fishing, canoeing, wildlife viewing, nature photography, environmental education programs and hiking. This project will provide more safety for bikers by reducing congestion and vehicle accidents.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was one call for projects, from March 23, 2014 until May 16, 2014, that generated 4 applications totaling $5,777,809 funds requested.
