Does the travel rule say the Forest has to shut down roads?
No. The Travel Management Rule directs Forests to designate roads, trails, and areas that are open for motorized use on a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). The rule provides no direction regarding how many roads or trails should be open or closed to motorized vehicles. It does, however provide criteria the Forest should consider when designating the National Forest system of roads trails and areas open to motor vehicle use.
