Overview

BLM transportationFor over 60 years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been responsible for managing American public lands. Today, the BLM administers 258 million surface acres and 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate, most of which lie within the 12 western states. These lands cover roughly 13 percent of the total area of the United States—an area greater than Texas, Oklahoma, and New England combined—and account for more than 40 percent of all federally managed land, making the BLM the single largest land holder in the country. These lands are used for recreation, resource harvesting, and energy production. As the American economy and population both grow, these activities are increasing.

Pivotal to the BLM’s strategy for managing these lands is maintaining and improving upon the BLM’s transportation system—which includes roads, bridges, trails, and related facilities—in a manner that enhances accessibility, connectivity, and safety, while at the same time addressing public needs, preserving ecological functions, and fostering economic development.


The BLM’s transportation system

Roads and highways

The BLM has 76,088 miles of roads—one and a half times the mileage of the Interstate Highway System. Most are naturally surfaced; less than 20,000 miles are gravel roads, and less than 2,000 miles are paved roads. Nearly all were originally built for administrative purposes or resource harvesting, but many are now being used for recreation, which is increasing as demographics change and travel demand grows.

Another component is the Land Management Highway System (LMHS), which identifies the state and county maintained public roads and bridges that serve as critical connectors to the BLM transportation system, and to BLM public lands. The LMHS enables the BLM to partner with these respective state and county agencies in comprehensive transportation management, to best serve the traveling public.

The National Back Country Byway program was developed by the BLM to complement the National Scenic Byways program. As an integral part of the larger Scenic Byway system, Back Country Byways show enthusiasts the best the West has to offer in a trip off the beaten path. Most of these byways are native surface or gravel base roads tracing across vast stretches of land. The BLM recognizes 55 designated National Back Country Byways, totaling 2,952 miles in eleven states.


Bridges

The BLM is responsible for managing 856 bridges, providing recreational and administrative access to facilities, trails (including the National Trails System), and National Back Country Byways. The condition of these bridges affects visitor and employee safety as well as emergency response time. As with its roads, the BLM’s bridges range in type, from single-lane wooden river crossings and foot bridges for trail access to heavy-duty Interstate-type steel truss bridges.

Trails

The BLM manages 18,420 miles of historic, scenic, and recreational trails, in addition to thousands of miles of multiple-use trails. These trails provide for outdoor recreation needs, and encourage public access. Nearly 6,000 miles are congressionally desig-nated national scenic and national historic trails under the National Trails System Act of 1968. These trails are the backbone of the National Trails System, which also includes National Recreation Trails and rail-trail authorities. This mileage includes 13 long-distance trails, 3 national scenic trails totaling 624 miles, and 10 national historic trails totaling 5,355 miles. The BLM manages more miles of national historic trails on-the-ground than any other agency.


The importance of the BLM transportation system

A well-functioning transportation system is essential for the resource harvesting, energy production, and recreation activities that take place on BLM lands. In addition to allowing the BLM to achieve its agency goals—sustaining the health, diversity, and economic vitality of our public lands—transportation enables ongoing contributions to the regional and national economies.

•Theannualeconomicimpactofenergyandmineralproduction on the public lands amounts to nearly $25 billion.

• In2006,nearly70millionvisitor-dayswerespenton BLM lands: camping, picnicking, landscape and wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, hiking and backpacking, boating, bicycling, and engaging in motorized recreation.

•RecreationalactivitiesonBLMlandsgenerate $2.4 billion in annual sales for adjacent communities, nearly 34,000 jobs, and over $883 million in personal income.

•TheBLM’sroads,bridges,andtrailsprovidecriticalaccess for wildfire mitigation strategies and escape routes for fire crews and the general public. With the increase in the American population, the increase in demand for energy, the growth in recreational activities, and ongoing fire risks, it is expected that the BLM’s transportation system will become even more important over time.


Transportation challenges and issues

•MaintainingtheBLM’svasttransportationsystemis difficult, and requires both sound planning and substantial investment. The BLM works with state, county, and local partners, as well as the Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP), to plan for, fund, and administer its roads, bridges, trails, and other transportation facilities.

•DemandsonBLMlands,andontheBLM transportation system, will increase as the American population continues to grow.

•Extensiveunmanagedcross-countrytravelon“open” or unrestricted lands can impact vegetation, soils, air and water quality. As a result, comprehensive transportation management has become a greater priority to the BLM.

•Thereisagrowinginterestinalternativetransporta-tion solutions on BLM-managed lands, such as bus shuttles, possibly using clean-fuels technology.

The Bureau of Land Management was established in 1946 and is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior. We manage public lands, mostly in the 12 Western states, that encompass 258 million acres—an area equivalent to the size of Texas and New England combined—and 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate.
