  1. Planning for Travel and Transportation Management National Training Center Course #8300-25 Unit Eight Travel Management Plan Components

  2. Implementation • What do the route designations really mean on the ground? • Who will be implementing the TMP? • How will the content of the TMP be shared internally? • How will the public remain informed about TMP implementation? • How will the TMP remain current? • Where do we/they start? Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  3. Planning Products Unit One – Why, What, How?

  4. TTM Products Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  5. TMP Components Guidelines for managing and maintaining the system, including: • Route Specific Objectives and Classification • Engineering Interface (FAMS and BMPs) • GIS (GTLF) and Map(s) • Easements or ROWs • Provisions/Process for New Routes or Changing Uses • Sign Component*+ • Outreach Component+ • Enforcement Component+ • Monitoring Component*+ • Restoration Component* • Prioritization for Implementation *a GAO Performance Measure +Required by WEMO Lawsuit Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  6. Process… Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  7. New Routes Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  8. Types of Authorization • Rights-of-Way • APDs / Sundries • Mining Notice/ Plan of Operations • Grazing Authorizations • Special Recreation Permits • Other Misc. Land Use Authorizations • Grandfathered Uses • Other (e.g., Research Permits, Native American Access etc.) Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  9. BLM Actions Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  10. Unauthorized Routes Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  11. Keeping GTLF Updated Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  12. Monitoring Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  13. Monitoring • Establish Factors to Monitor • New Ground Disturbance, Route Dimensions, Condition, Usage etc. • Tailor to resources of concern • Ensure it’s “easy” to monitor • Set “Threshold of Acceptable Change” • Trigger Point for action • Must relate to items being monitored • Provide a rationale for the threshold • Describe course of action… Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  14. Feedback loop… Monitoring Impact Action Adjust Monitoring Implement Measure Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  15. Other Monitoring Considerations • Decide/Explain how monitoring is documented • Focus monitoring on resource needs • Prioritize sensitive or problem areas • Who does the monitoring? • Routine versus opportunistic “Adaptive Management” Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  16. Monitoring Documentation • Matched to the type of monitoring • Quick, Easy, Meaningful (to everyone) • Examples • Memo to file / Monitoring Report • Geo-referenced Photograph • Photo Log • Spreadsheets • Shapefiles • Etc. Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  17. Example Route Proliferation Monitoring • Monitoring for new transportation linear disturbances off designated routes. • Threshold = no new ground disturbance • Prioritized high use public areas • Routine Monitoring • Review biennial aerial photography for priority areas • Review 12 miles of routes within WSA/LMWC with annual wilderness monitoring • Opportunistic Monitoring • All field personnel finding a new travel related disturbance while in the field shall photograph and GPS origin point and submit via email to the data custodian Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  21. Enforcement Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  22. Decommissioning & Restoration Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  23. Transportation Linear Disturbance • How will the public be notified; • On the ground? • In maps and other information? • What terminology will be used to describe these features; “closed route”, “abandoned route”, “Transportation Linear Disturbance” etc.? Should there be some standardization across TMAs/TMPs? Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  24. Restoration • Passive Restoration • Active Restoration • What tools should be used for active restoration? • When should they be used or not? • Which areas will be prioritized? • Future NEPA Requirements… How will restoration be monitored? Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  25. Outreach & Signing Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  26. Signing • What will be signed? • Can/should everything be signed? • How will it be prioritized? • How does signing feed into other Plan components? • What will signing look like? • What information will the sign provide? • How will it be installed/maintained? • Should TMP associated NEPA be sufficient to sign? Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components

  27. Outreach • Maps • Will there be a consistent look and feel • Consist information • Consistent legend • Should decommissioned and restored routes be shown? • Should routes not available to the public be on publically available maps? • Remember no all maps are on paper? • Will data be available for download? • Electronic data files for Smart Phones • Travel Information • Partners Unit Eight – Travel Management Plan Components
