What is the Travel Management Rule (Rule), and what does it require the Willamette National Forest (WNF) to do?
A. The Travel Management Rule of 2005 (Federal Register Vol. 70. No 216, 2005.) revises regulations to require each national forest to designate roads and trails open to motor vehicle use by class of vehicle and time of year. In other words, the Willamette National Forest needs to identify a designated system of routes where it is legal for the public to drive. All motorized travel off of this designated system (cross-country) will no longer be allowed.
