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

The Federal Highway Administration plans to cancel rules that require it to track how well it manages national forests and the roads within them. This means the agency will no longer have to report on its performance in these areas.

For two decades, the government had a formal system to measure how well it managed federal lands and the roads that run through them. This change means that specific performance data will no longer be collected or publicly available. It removes a layer of accountability for how these public resources are maintained.
