H.R. 3247, the TRAIL Act, Passed by U.S. House of Representatives
Americans for Responsible Recreational Access (ARRA) congratulates the House of Representatives for passing H.R. 3247, the Trail Responsibility and Accountability (TRAIL) Act of 2004. We also want to thank the sponsors, Reps. Tom Tancredo (R-Co.), Scott McInnis (R-Co.), and Mark Udall (D-Co.), for their support and persistent effort to pass this legislation. Rep. Richard Pombo, the chairman of the House Resources Committee, is also to be commended for his work in moving the TRAIL Act from the committee to the full House of Representatives.
This is a critical win for those Americans who like to recreate on public lands. By deterring and penalizing those who harm resources and willfully break the law, the TRAIL Act will help preserve recreational opportunities for responsible recreationists throughout our country.
From the beginning of the process, ARRA has been a strong supporter of this legislation. We feel that strengthening these laws and providing consistent enforcement across all agencies creates a better, safer environment for recreation on our federal lands. Instead of allowing those few who abuse our public lands to deny opportunities to everyone, the TRAIL Act makes it possible to repair any damage, penalize the irresponsible few, and keep our public lands open for all.
There are some links to thought and testimony on the ARRA website
Support those that support the sport. Be part of the solution.
