Abstract

A report detailing the results of an interagency effort to increase compliance with ORV rules in one state forest, comprised of three surveys: 1. A rider survey asking for respondents' perceptions of the signs, maps, trail systems in the pilot area, and the rider perceptions of any law enforcement contact the rider may have had during the study period. The survey also queried each respondents' understanding of pilot area regulations, and offered the opportunity to give open-ended comments. 2. A detailed discussion of the participating law enforcement agencies' response to the pilot project, querying officer concerns, jurisdiction conflicts, workload distribution vs. agency priorities, and an analysis of sign survival in the pilot project areas. 3. Interviews with park manager/grant recipients, which discussed the results in terms of park administration, funding, staffing, and resource protection.
