Recreational Trail Use Visitor Survey

Recreational Trail Use Visitor Survey

In July, 2002, the University of Southern California Sustainable Cities Program conducted a visitor survey focussing on recreational trail use. The survey is the most comprehensive look, to date, at trail users in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The information will be highly useful when formulating the forthcoming Interagency Regional Trail Management Plan.
