      New Research on a High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process
                               (HETAP)
                              Beneficial Designs has started work on a High Efficiency Trail Assessment
                              Process (HETAP) with funding support from the USDA Small Business
                              Innovation Research program. The research project is developing a trail
                              measurement system that automates the collection of objective trail
                              information so that one person can collect information at a speed of 1
                              hour per mile of trail. Phase 1 of the research finished in December 2004.
                              The project culminated with a demonstration of the first prototype at the
                              National Trails Symposium in Austin, Texas (October 2004). Excitement was
                              high as land managers from Federal, State, Local and private agencies were
                              able to “test drive” the HETAP cart on demonstration trails in the conference
                              exhibit hall. A survey of land managers shows over 85% are interested in
                              “keeping tabs” on the latest developments when Phase 2 of the project gets
underway. An application for Phase 2 funding was submitted in January 2005. Contact Beneficial Designs at
775-783-8822 if your agency would be interested in being a pilot test site during Phase 2.

                    American Trails Surveys State Trail Coordinators
American Trails is conducting a survey of State Trail Coordinators
to learn more about their interest in and knowledge of the Universal
Trail Assessment Process. The survey is also seeking to clarify
information about UTAP in the 21s t century, an objective
assessment process that can meet all of your trail data
collection needs. Rumors still abound that UTAP is only for
accessibility to trails for people with disabilities. While that was true
in the last century, not any more! UTAP has become truly
UNIVERSAL in meeting all of the trail information needs of both
land managers and all trail users, regardless of their interests or
abilities.
Results of the survey will be used by American Trails to determine
the dates and locations of future Universal Trail Assessment
Coordinator workshops for State Trail Coordinators, which are funded by the Federal Highway
Administration. For more information on the survey, contact American Trails (www.americantrails.org).



                                        UTAP Coordinator Workshops
                                         In 2004, 32 individuals were trained to lead trail assessments using the
                                         Universal Trail Assessment Process (UTAP). UTAP Coordinator Workshops
                                         were held in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Workshop participants
                                         included trail professionals, college students, and volunteers. California State
                                         Parks now conducts UTAP training within their own agency with on-staff
                                         trainers using the official UTAP training materials.

                               Several UTAP Workshops are being planned for 2005. The next UTAP
                               Coordinator Workshop will be held March 6 - 7, 2005 in Reno, Nevada at the
                               Professional Trailbuilders Association Conference. It begins at 2 pm on
                               Sunday so you can fly to Reno on the morning of the 6 th and not miss a
minute of the workshop. There is also a UTAP workshop scheduled for Toronto, Canada, which will be held
May 28 - 29, 2005. Registration for these UTAP workshops is open to all interested individuals.

Several additional workshops are being planned for specific agencies or groups. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
employees will be able to attend a UTAP workshop in July 2005. In October 2005, several UTAP trainers will
be in Florida to teach a workshop to Florida Department of Environmental Protection employees and invited
participants. Finally, American Trails is surveying State Trail Coordinators to identify sites to host regional
workshops through the Federal Highway Administration.
Check the American Trails (www.americantrails.org) web site for the latest information o n UTAP training
opportunities.

    v Mike Passo and colleagues have submitted a grant application to support a UTAP Coordinator
      Workshop for college students in Texas. The students would then complete trail assessments as part
      of their recreation course work. Contact Mike Passo (mike@elakah.com or tel: (360) 305-9551) for
      more information.
    v Do you use water trails? Wilderness Inquiry tested a new canoe seating system, developed by
      Beneficial Designs, with 60 participants of all abilities. The system worked well and the final design
      revisions are now underway. Contact Beneficial Designs at 775-783-8822 or
      mail@beneficialdesigns.com for more information.

Software Released Fall 2004 TrailWare Version 2.0, the data processing software for the Universal Trail Assessment Process, was released in October 2004 at the National Trails Symposium. Our many, and most grateful thanks go out to all of the agencies and organizations that have been participating in the beta-software evaluations. With your help we’ve been able to create an effective data analysis tool. TrailWare Training Courses, with over 20 participants, were held in California, Nevada, and Texas during 2004. The next TrailWare Training Course will be held on the morning of March 8, 2005 in Reno, Nevada at the Professional Trailbuilders Association Conference (PTBA). For more information about this course of to register go to the PTBA web site and click on the Trailbuilder Conference link at www.trailbuilders.org If you haven’t yet purchased your copy of TrailWare2.0, you can get a free 120-day trial version or information about ordering TrailWare2.0 by contacting Beneficial Designs (tel: 775-783-8822, fax: 775-783- 8823, trails@beneficialdesigns.com). The LOW introductory price for TrailWare2.0 is $199 US, so get yours today! New Research on a High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process (HETAP) Beneficial Designs has started work on a High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process (HETAP) with funding support from the USDA Small Business Innovation Research program. The research project is developing a trail measurement system that automates the collection of objective trail information so that one person can collect information at a speed of 1 hour per mile of trail. Phase 1 of the research finished in December 2004. The project culminated with a demonstration of the first prototype at the National Trails Symposium in Austin, Texas (October 2004). Excitement was high as land managers from Federal, State, Local and private agencies were able to “test drive” the HETAP cart on demonstration trails in the conference exhibit hall. A survey of land managers shows over 85% are interested in “keeping tabs” on the latest developments when Phase 2 of the project gets underway. An application for Phase 2 funding was submitted in January 2005. Contact Beneficial Designs at 775-783-8822 if your agency would be interested in being a pilot test site during Phase 2. © Beneficial Designs, Inc. · 1617 Water St Suite B Minden NV 89423 · 775-783-8822 · www.beneficialdesigns.com Page 2
  • 3. UTAP TAC Newsletter Winter 2005 American Trails Surveys State Trail Coordinators American Trails is conducting a survey of State Trail Coordinators to learn more about their interest in and knowledge of the Universal Trail Assessment Process. The survey is also seeking to clarify information about UTAP in the 21s t century, an objective assessment process that can meet all of your trail data collection needs. Rumors still abound that UTAP is only for accessibility to trails for people with disabilities. While that was true in the last century, not any more! UTAP has become truly UNIVERSAL in meeting all of the trail information needs of both land managers and all trail users, regardless of their interests or abilities. Results of the survey will be used by American Trails to determine the dates and locations of future Universal Trail Assessment Coordinator workshops for State Trail Coordinators, which are funded by the Federal Highway Administration. For more information on the survey, contact American Trails (www.americantrails.org). UTAP Coordinator Workshops In 2004, 32 individuals were trained to lead trail assessments using the Universal Trail Assessment Process (UTAP). UTAP Coordinator Workshops were held in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Workshop participants included trail professionals, college students, and volunteers. California State Parks now conducts UTAP training within their own agency with on-staff trainers using the official UTAP training materials. Several UTAP Workshops are being planned for 2005. The next UTAP Coordinator Workshop will be held March 6 - 7, 2005 in Reno, Nevada at the Professional Trailbuilders Association Conference. It begins at 2 pm on Sunday so you can fly to Reno on the morning of the 6 th and not miss a minute of the workshop. There is also a UTAP workshop scheduled for Toronto, Canada, which will be held May 28 - 29, 2005. Registration for these UTAP workshops is open to all interested individuals. Several additional workshops are being planned for specific agencies or groups. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service employees will be able to attend a UTAP workshop in July 2005. In October 2005, several UTAP trainers will be in Florida to teach a workshop to Florida Department of Environmental Protection employees and invited participants. Finally, American Trails is surveying State Trail Coordinators to identify sites to host regional workshops through the Federal Highway Administration. Check the American Trails (www.americantrails.org) web site for the latest information o n UTAP training opportunities.
