Expanding digital mapping of unimproved public roads in West Virginia for tourism and travel purposes.

The bill mandates the West Virginia Division of Highways to create a digital road map of unimproved public roads, integrating them into a Geographic Information System (GIS) format. Counties can apply for mapping services, which will be used to develop a mobile application for navigation and user-added notes. The app will serve as a marketing tool for counties to promote tourism, travel, and outdoor recreation. The digital map will display surface classifications and 4x4-only designations to assist travelers in route selection.
