Pathway
What is "Pathway?" In 2005, four prominent agencies in the Lake Tahoe basin decided to embark on a collaborative journey. Each agency needed to re-write it's own resource management plan and in an unprecedented move, these agencies worked together to update these important resource management plans. This collaborative process is called "Pathway." The Pathway partner agencies include the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, USDA Forest Service, the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.
Pathway is an effort to ensure coordination between different public agencies and to share resources and expertise while inviting public participation. By working together, each agency's regional plan should be consistent and collaborative. Pathway is providing the public with an unprecedented opportunity to help create a vision for the Lake Tahoe basin.

Addressing the Issues
These regional plan updates will guide land management, resource management and environmental regulations over the next 20 years. The plans will address many areas, including the following:
- How much additional development will take place at Lake Tahoe by the year 2027?
- What kind of growth is on the horizon?
- What will be the state of lake clarity, forest health, water quality and recreation by 2027?
- How will regional plans help reduce the threat of catastrophic wildfires in the Lake Tahoe Basin?
- How will Lake Tahoe agencies revise their long-range plans to create a unified vision for Tahoe's future?
- How will Lake Tahoe's startling beauty be preserved while maintaining quality of life for those who live and visit here?
