Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) 

Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $498,438 FY 2014: $502,182 FY 2015: $492,115 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 1.75% Federal public road miles: 95.3 Number of Federal public bridges: 6 Recreational visitation: 8,059,518 visitors per year 

Success story: Santa Claus-Lincoln Discovery Trail- This project will extend County Road (CR) 1650N from CR 325E to CR 300E. The 1800 feet of extended roadway will have two 10 foot travel lanes with 2 foot shoulders. There will be an atgrade railroad crossing where crossing protection, signage, and pavement markers will be installed. The existing connection between CR 325E and CR 300E will converted into a portion of the Santa Claus-Lincoln Discovery Trail which will provide access to the National Park Service’s Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. This project will also construct a 10-foot wide and 2300-foot long bicycle/pedestrian trail from CR 1625N to Heritage Hills High School. The trail will be designed according to ADA requirements. Waysides with benching, bicycle storage facilities, trash receptacles, and historical information will be installed. This section of trail would serve as a connection from the high school to CR1625N, which is proposed to be abandoned by Spencer County and converted to a trail. This would allow direct access via trail from the high school to the Lincoln Boyhood Home property.

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 July 1, 2013 until August 1, 2013, that generated four applications totaling $7,193,450 funds requested.
