# §86.54. What does the Service consider when evaluating a project on boater access to significant destinations and services that support transient boater travel?


In evaluating a proposed project under the criterion on boater access at [§ 86.51(a)(3)](/cfr/50/86.51.md?p=a-3), we consider:

- (a) The degree of access that the BIG-funded facility will give;
- (b) The activity, event, or landmark that makes the BIG-funded facility a destination, how well known the attraction is, how long it is available, and how likely it is to attract boaters to the facility; and
- (c) The availability of services and safety near the BIG-funded facility, how easily boaters can access them, and how well they serve the needs of eligible users.
