In December 2005, the Forest Service published the Travel Management Rule (TMR) requiring each individual forest to designate roads, trails and areas authorized for motor vehicle travel. Each forest will involve a variety of agencies and interested parties in this designation process.
The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests (ASNFs) are currently working with those interested to identify changes to the existing travel management system. The ASNFs plans to present to the public a proposed action in mid-October, 2007 and prepare a forests-wide Environmental Impact Statement during 2008-2009 and is scheduled to print the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) by September 2009.
