Impact Of Gasoline Constraints

Should Be Considered In Managing

Federal Recreation Facilities



In 1979 and 1980 when gasoline was in short
supply or costly visitors to the Nation's
recreation areas stayed closer to home, Vis
itation dropped -,t remote sites while facit
ities near ciies were more heavily used.

Federal recreati on agencies have not fully
responded to the public need or desire to
use less gasoline for recreation- Also, they
have not developed techniques to predict
changes in patterns of recreation use. Con-
sequently, current nolicies and practices do
little to ensure that facilities are constructed
and maintained to meet changing use patterns
or to encourage minimum     ue of gasoline.

Although several agencies have adopted meas-
ures to help conserve gasoline, these efforts
have been incidental to other objectives such
as environmental protection. GAO makes rec-
ommendations to assist Federal recreation
agencies to improve and use forecasting and
encourage gasoline conservation
