PLWA’s Access Issue Reporting System is the first of its kind to address access issues across our state. The goals of the AIRS program are:
Provide a central point for the public to register access complaints.
Collect data about the volume, type, and location of access issues.
Track the evolution of access issues occurring in Montana.
Increase the efficiency of investigation and resolution of access issues interfering with the public’s ability to reach and recreate on Montana public lands and waters.
