How will the public be involved in travel management decisions?
A. The final rule requires the Forest Service to provide for public participation in the process of designating roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use. Designation decisions will be made by forest supervisors or district rangers working closely with local communities, motorized and non-motorized recreation groups, and other interested parties. Local units will notify the public of opportunities to participate in travel planning. The Forest Service supports collaborative travel planning involving all interested parties and a wide range of interests.

They will tell people how they can participate in travel planning. We want to involve all interested parties and a wide range of interests in travel planning.
