In
January 2001, the Forest Service adopted
a new road management policy, which
directs the agency to maintain a safe,
environmentally sound road network
that is responsive to public needs
and affordable to manage. The policy
includes a science-based roads analysis
process designed to help managers
make better decisions on roads. Currently,
the Forest Service is looking at ways
to make the road management policy
work better and is conducting an internal
review of the policy.
