The Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act
Large portions of federally managed lands are inaccessible to Americans with disabilities because of restrictions on motorized vehicles and a shortage of authorized routes. The Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act has been introduced in the Senate to require land managers to provide at least 2.5 miles of authorized roads for every square mile of land they manage. It further restricts the ability to close roads that would reduce accessibility, and requires public notice, comment, and hearings before closures.

This will not only help our fellow Americans with Disabilities, but also improve access to our public lands by motorized vehicles.

State Motor Vehicle Laws in National Park System Units
This bill ensures that state motor vehicle laws apply to roads within units of the National Park System. Despite federal regulations dating back to 1987 that state traffic within national parks should follow state law, the Park Service has continued blanket closures to off highway vehicle use. This bill will clarify that visitors can use the vehicles authorized under the laws of the state where the park is located. It provides specific provisions for “off highway vehicles” to be as determined by state law.

OHVs in Capitol Reef National Park
This bill authorizes off-highway vehicle (OHV) use on specific roads in Capitol Reef National Park, improving access to some of the park’s most scenic landscapes. Several of these roads already require high-clearance vehicles and all are well-suited for OHV travel. It would authorize OHV use on Burr Trail Road, Cathedral Road, Hartnet Road, Highway 24, Notom Bullfrog Road, Polk Creek Road, Oil Well Bench Road, Baker Ranch Road, South Desert Overlook Road, Temple of the Sun and Moon Road, Gypsum Sinkhole Road, and Sulphur Creek Road.
