Grant Evaluation Process:
Funding is divided equally between state and local agency
projects. Applications are evaluated in a competitive process
by a team of boating representatives. A prioritized list
of state agency projects is included in the biennial capital
budget but does not require legislative approval. Local
agency projects are evaluated and funded annually.
Revenue Source:
Funds come from a portion of the motor vehicle gasoline
tax paid by boaters and not refunded as allowed by law.
