The US government will stop tracking how well it manages forests and highways

The Federal Highway Administration is getting rid of rules that required it to track how it manages federal lands and highways. This means the agency will no longer have to report on its performance for these programs.

For years, the government has had systems in place to measure how well it manages national forests and the roads that run through them. These systems were supposed to ensure accountability and efficient use of taxpayer money. Now, the agency will simply stop measuring its own performance in these areas.
