§8425 Motorized and nonmotorized access

Summary

Federal land agencies must try to make certain maps available to the public in a GIS-compatible printed format. No later than 5 years after January 4, 2025, the Bureau of Land Management must try to have a ground-transportation linear feature map for each BLM district, and the Forest Service must try to have a motor vehicle use map for each National Forest unit. No later than 10 years after January 4, 2025, each Federal recreational area managed by those agencies where over-snow vehicle use happens must try to have an over-snow vehicle-use map. At least every 20 years after a map is adopted or reviewed, the agency must try to review it by giving public notice and taking comments, and update it if needed. The agencies must also try to create more motorized and nonmotorized access opportunities on those lands as allowed by law. If an agency misses a deadline, lawful uses that are already allowed are not blocked.
