Disabled Access To Blm, National Forest Land


Recommended Posts


Anyone can use ATVs on BLM and National Forest lands unless those lands are specifically closed to ATV use. So I assume you mean using ATVs in areas closed to ATV access.

BLM

The BLM is legally mandated by the Architectural Barriers Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and 43 CFR part 17 to provide accessibility in its programs and facilities to all people with disabilities.  The BLM works closely with its permittees to ensure that disabled veterans can experience their own unique adventures on America's public lands.

Learn more about the BLM’s Accessibility Program and find facilities and qualified BLM outfitters offering trips for the disabled. For more information about events for disabled veterans in your area of interest, please contact the local BLM Field Office.  For information about BLM's accessibility programs, contact a BLM Accessibility Lead.

I heard through the grapevine that user groups were trying to fight the Plumas NF Road Management Plan  with the Americans with Disabilities act. When the FS closes existing roads making those areas only available to ambulatory people it would seem to me that is a violation of the aforementioned act. It would delight me to no end if the FS was foiled in its illegal attempts to close access to the National Forests through the use of the Federal Governments own regulations.
