Description
The Recreational Road & Bridge Fund is administered by the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) to support transportation infrastructure within and leading to Idaho’s parks and recreation areas. It funds development and construction as well as maintenance and repair of existing roads, bridges, and parking areas.
The Idaho Legislature established the fund through HB 185 in 1993, authorizing IDPR to administer 0.44% of state gas tax revenues solely for these purposes. IDPR staff review applications and present funding recommendations to the Idaho Park and Recreation Board for final approval.
