Challis Comprehensive Travel Management and Transportation Plan Environmental Assessment. ID-330-2006-EA-2403

摘要

Comprehensive Travel Management Planning has become one of the top priorities for federal land management agencies over the past decade. Increasing population throughout the western United States, shifts in demographics (age and mobility, amount of available leisure time, proximity of population centers to public lands, etc.) and technological advances in various motorized and mechanized methods of transportation (size, power, stability, and ease of control) have out-paced conventional agency transportation planning. Whereas many public lands have traditionally been open to cross country traffic without restriction, these new pressures have necessitated a national level change from passive to active transportation management.
