The Rural Road Upgrading Program Guidelines provide an application process where, subject to approval of funds, upgrading may be provided for non-industrial rural roads, which could lead to government funded maintenance if requested. 

POLICY OBJECTIVES
1. To upgrade non-industrial rural roads in the Yukon, whether currently maintained by YG or not.
2. To upgrade rural roads based on requests and input from rural residents and property owners.
3. To accomplish the work with local Contractors.
4. To evaluate projects on a geographical basis in order to spread the work around the Territory.
5. To develop cost share arrangements for projects that are not in the current inventory of government maintained roads.
