Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) 

Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $446,893 FY 2014: $450,250 FY 2015: $441,224 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 0.37% Federal public road miles: 63.8 Number of Federal public bridges: 8 Recreational visitation: 18,324,086 visitors per year 

Success Story: The Saratoga National Historical Park Trail Connector project will design and construct a 1.5 mile section of multi-use trail along the historic Old Champlain Canal connecting the National Park Service’s Old Saratoga Unit to the Battlefield Unit of the Saratoga National Historical Park. The trail design will consist of a 10-foot stone dust trail with 2-foot shoulders on each side. Clearing, grubbing, and installing culverts may be necessary in some areas. The proposed segment will be an integral part of the continuous Champlain Canalway Trail (CCT) which will link Waterford and Whitehall and serve to provide a safe, recreational area that will highlight and preserve a historically significant transportation corridor, the Old Champlain Canal. The CCT is a 71 mile long trail with a linear corridor adjacent to the Hudson River. This project will immediately be a major economic influence that will help to build tourism by connecting visitors to irreplaceable historic, cultural and natural resources within the region.

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 September 19, 2013 until December 16, 2013, that generated 3 applications totaling $952,000 funds requested.
