Snowmobile Trail GrantThree phase process:Phase I: Prior approval process for new, updated, orreclassified trails (June 1st deadline)Phase II: Formal grant application from local sponsorto OPRHP (September 1st deadline)Phase III: Project year documentation submission andaudits by local sponsor/OPRHP (May 31st deadline)
Snowmobile Trail GrantPhase I is required for: New trails Previously funded trails to be rerouted, removed,or reclassified GPS data updates/corrections Reopening closed trails (funded at some time, butnot in the previous project year) Transfer of trail maintenance responsibility toanother TME
Snowmobile Trail GrantPhase I GPS requirements:Accurate, up to date GPS data is important for 911 response, municipalplanning, riders using GPS units, accurate trail mapping, and the overallintegrity of the trail grant program.For 2016-17 all trails were required to have GPS derived GIS data no olderthan January 1, 2011.There are no new requirements for 2018-19, only new trails or reroutes mustbe have updated GPS data.Next GPS requirement: for 2020-2021 season, data must be no older than2017. By then the current 2011 data will be nine years old.Local sponsors may set more stringent guidelines
Snowmobile Trail GrantPhase I GPS requirements:Next Requirement: As of June 1, 2020 (expected 2020-2021 PhaseI due date), all trails must have GPS derived GIS data no older thanJanuary 1, 2017. This will be the next requirement.Thereafter, each and every trail must have GPS derived GIS data nomore than three years old. It is recommended that clubs stagger theirGPS data collection efforts beginning in 2017 so they are not collectingdata for all of their trails in the same year going forward.Data no more than three years old will be the minimum requirement;clubs are encouraged to collect data more often if they are able andlocal sponsors may set more stringent requirements.
Snowmobile Trail GrantPhase II Application:All documentation is required and incomplete submissionsmay delay 70% payment for entire county. All permissions,SEQRA, etc. should be acquired for any trail submitted duringPhase I before waiting for approval.Notable updates: Copies of land use agreements are not required with thePhase II submission to OPRHP. The permissions forms aresufficient if properly completed. Read all documentationfully and follow all directions.
Snowmobile Trail GrantPhase III:The Automated Trails Grant Program (ATGP) is the sole method of entryfor grant documentation. The system is continually being modified andupgraded based on your feedback to be as user-friendly as possible. To getATGP access, contact your club president, regional coordinator, or localsponsor.Notable updates: 60 day window. The 60 day window continues to be enforced. OPRHPis flexible in some individual circumstances. Entries needing supportingdocumentation (receipts, lease agreements etc.) should be entered assoon as possible and later edited to add attachments. Donated storage agreements are no longer allowable as an expense. ATGP User Guides updated

Snowmobile Trail GrantTrail SignageAfter a series of meetings with and significant input from NYSSA,particularly the trails committee, a new signage manual has been developedand is available in print and /documents.aspxWhile still adopting some of the IASA recommendations, the new manualalso takes into account the unique nature of the NYS trail system and strivesto ensure safety in a variety of conditions and situations.Focus is on safety while also emphasizing rider responsibility. Signs areguidance but one set of rules cannot cover every trail situation and a falsesense of security for riders should be avoided. Ride to the trail, not tothe signs.Overall goal is a uniform system of signage.
