Appalachian Trail Conservancy's "Increasing Opportunities for Access on the Appalachian Trail: A Design Guide"

Using the Forest Service's FSTAG and FSORAG, this design guide incorporates real-world Appalachian Trail examples as case studies that represent opportunities that can be used on other pedestrian trails. The guide's theme—universal design—transcends issues solely related to access for persons with disabilities by describing how universal design reduces resource damage and maintenance, saving money. The guide is available free of charge at http://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs/trail-maintainers-corner/increasing-opportunities-for-access-on-the-appalachian-trail-a-design-guide.pdf, (Appalachian Trail Conservancy 2007).
