The trail must be within the SUN Trail network and connect key desti- nations such as schools, public transit stations, or residential areas. The grant has no minimum or maximum amount. This program was expanded to include lands in the Florida Wildlife Corridor as part of SB 106, which passed in 2023. The bill also expands SUN Trail funding by $200 million. This program provides grants for com- munities to assist them in supporting viable growth and development, as well as protecting natural resources and open space.

The program funding varies yearly (typically averaging around $20 million) and provides grants of up to 50% of the total project cost, up to a maximum of $3 million. The grant re- quires a local match of at least 25% of the total project cost.
