The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, a public lands and natural resources management agency, manages one of the world's largest transportation systems for extraction of resources by the private sector and for access to public recreational and private land holdings within national forests. Much of the land within the exterior boundaries of national forests is still privately owned, which results in a patchnwork of public and private lands and a problem of accessibility to these land parcels. There is an established tradition of public and private cooperation in resources development and in the provision of transportation in national forests. The national forests transportation system includes approximately 321,000 mi of roads, foot trails, air fields, aerial tramways, waterways, and cableways. Low-volume roads make up most of the system. The objective of this research is to examine the legislative history, policies, and administrative requirements of the Forest Service for cooperative public and private finance, construction, and maintenance of national forest roads. The policies and requirements may be applicable to rural road systems in other regions of the world.
