    logo_USFS_USDAFlagstaff AZ (May 13, 2013) – On Wednesday the Coconino National Forest will issue a revised, free Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) to show all of the roads, trails and areas open to motor vehicle use on the Forest.

    The free MVUM is re-issued each year and can be downloaded for use on smartphones and Garmin GPS devices at http://go.usa.gov/PEa (case sensitive). Hard copies of the map will be available at all Coconino National Forest Offices, nearby national forest offices, and other local businesses that choose to carry them.

    The 2013 MVUM includes a number of updates and corrections made as a result of public input received over the past year, and the Coconino National Forest continues to request public feedback on the map and will use this information to improve the map every year.

    “We have received hundreds of comments over the past year about our designated routes on the 2012 Motor Vehicle Use Map,” said Mike Dechter, lead planner with the Coconino National Forest. “Many of these comments were extremely helpful at pointing out errors, which we were able to fix on the 2013 version. More substantive route changes to open more routes and areas or close routes and areas will need to be reviewed through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. We expect to propose changes to the system of designated motor vehicle routes and areas in 2014 to begin the NEPA process.”

    Errors on the 2013 MVUM or any problems with road signs on the Coconino National Forest should be reported to forest officials through the “Travel Management Feedback” form, available online at http://go.usa.gov/Qww.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
