How does the Forest Service expect to be able to implement a new regulation and manage OHV use?
A. Forest Service law enforcement personnel play a critical role in ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, protecting public safety, and protecting National Forest System resources. The Forest Service also maintains cooperative relationships with many state and local law enforcement agencies that provide mutual support across jurisdictional boundaries. The new rule provides a consistent framework for enforcing travel management regulations, including provision for a motor vehicle use map. Most OHV users want to do the right thing, and the agency believes that proper education and engineering (e.g., road and trail design, signing) can focus law enforcement resources on those few users who intend to violate the law.
