BLM Utah released the approved travel management plan, which designates which roads within the travel management area are open, limited, or closed to motorized travel. The selected network provides for the long-term operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the many roads leading to popular and beloved destinations.
The selected network is the culmination of years of travel planning, following a 2017 settlement agreement stemming from a lawsuit regarding the 2008 travel plan. The new plan also implements direction provided by the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Dingell Act) of 2019.
