Abstract:A field investigation of the current transportation infrastructure and issues affecting the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (NRA) by the interagency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG) was conducted August 19-21, 2008, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS). This TAG report was prepared subsequent to the site visit and documents current conditions and transportation issues observed and describes considerations and recommendations arising from the TAG team’s analysis. The site visit and preparation of this report were facilitated and funded by the USFS and the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks Program, formerly the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) Program, administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in coordination with the Department of the Interior (DOI).
The Federal Lands Alternative Transportation Systems Study*, a report sponsored jointly by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FTA, completed in 2003, assessed alternative transportation feasibility at the Sawtooth NRA. The study concluded that there were multiple alternative transportation strategies which showed potential and recommended a more detailed examination.
