Regional Access Issues

Regional Issues Of National Interest

From time to time, ARRA will focus attention on regional issues that are of interest to recreationists throughout the country. Many groups are waging important battles at the local, state and regional levels, and it is important to recognize these efforts. ARRA welcomes information about local activities and organizations. This information will be shared with ARRA members via our website on a space available basis. 

Also be sure to check out our new USFS OHV Designation Center for additional meetings/issues as the Forest Service implements its final Travel Management Rule designating trails and areas open to OHV use.   You can also go directly to a list of OHV Route Designation Workshops and Updates.
