2008 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Planning (SCORP) Document

State government has an interest in accurate measures of its investments in access and recreation sites. The state also needs to better understand the outcomes that result from financial and other assistance to local and federal agencies.

RCO proposes to test the level of service concept in cooperation with the National Park Service in future grant cycles of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program.

The level of service is discussed in this SCORP document, Defining and Measuring Success: The Role of State Government in Outdoor Recreation.
