Training on use of the Universal Trail Assessment Process (UTAP) and the High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process (HETAP)
About this Event

Presented as a partnership between Beneficial Designs and the Network for Arizona Trails concurrent with the 2025 Summit for Arizona Trails!

The Universal Trail Assessment Process (UTAP) and the High Efficiency Trail Assessment Process (HETAP) collect objective information about trail conditions such as grade, cross slope, typical and minimum clearance width, surface type, firmness and obstructions. Through classroom and practical, hands-on trail assessment experience, participants will learn how to objectively measure trails using UTAP and HETAP. Participants will also learn the details of UTAP measurements, semi-automated wheeled information sensor package measurements, and HETAP 3.0 Software. This workshop will discuss the benefits of objective information, the application of UTAP and HETAP in diverse environments, how to disseminate Trail Access Information (TAI), and how that dissemination meets the requirements of the new federal accessibility guidelines for outdoor developed areas. Optional certification through American Trails will be available at check-in for $35.

Educational Objectives: Through classroom and practical, hands-on trail assessment experience, participants will learn:


  • How to objectively measure trails using UTAP and HETAP,
  • The details of UTAP measurements,
  • The details of the semi-automated wheeled information sensor package measurements and HETAP 3.0 Software,
  • The benefits of objective information,

Target Audience: UTAP and HETAP are beneficial processes for all levels of participants, but are especially informative for trail planners, managers, workers, and volunteers. This is both an indoor and outdoor workshop. Wear shoes and clothing comfortable for walking. Weather can be quite changeable. Be prepared for warm, cold, wet or anything in between. Wear layers, good walking shoes, and sunscreen. If you have special mobility needs or other accessibility concerns, please notify us no later than Tuesday, October 14, so we can make arrangements to accommodate your needs.
