Travel Management Planning

Travel Management is regulated by 36 CFR Parts 212, 251, 261, and 294 Travel Management; Designated Routes and Areas for Motor Vehicle Use; Final Rule.  The Department of Agriculture revised regulations regarding travel management on NFS lands to clarify policy related to motor vehicle use, including the use of off-highway vehicles.  The final rule requires designation of those roads, trails, and areas that are open to motor vehicle use.  Designations are made by class of vehicle and, if appropriate, by time of year.  The rule became effective in 2005, and applies to both summer and winter travel.
