The transportation system which serves the National Forests is a complex of highways and access roads and trails under various ownerships and jurisdictions.

Because administration of the forest highway system is a responsibility of the Secretary of Commerce with maintenance provided by the States and counties, this Development Program for the National Forests does not include estimates of the funds needed to maintain the forest highway system nor to construct the additions to it that are needed.

It is estimated that about 70,000 miles of forest highways will eventually be needed to fully serve the National Forests.

These roads are largely of less than highway standards, and usually carry traffic which is related to use of the National Forests.

It is estimated that about 542,250 miles of forest development roads, and 80,000 miles of trails, constitute the system that will eventually be needed to obtain the maximum practicable yield and use of the wood, water, forage, and wildlife and recreation resources of the National Forests on a continuing basis.

The existence of road systems permits an intensity of management and use for all National Forest purposes that is not otherwise possible.

The long-range objective is to bring about consolidation of ownership through use of land exchange authority and through purchase on a moderate scale of inholdings which comprise key tracts for recognized National Forest programs such as recreation development, or which are a source of damage to lands in National Forests and National Grasslands.
