• Abstract:
  After two years of planning and analysis, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is pleased to provide Transportation Connections 2040: A National Long Range Transportation Plan for the BLM. This document is the culmination of a collaborative, interdisciplinary planning process including staff from the BLM’s Headquarters Office, State Offices, and Field Offices, as well as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway.
  
  Public lands managed by the BLM are recognized as America’s Great Outdoors, and a “Backyard to Backcountry” treasure. More than 120 urban centers and thousands of tribal and rural communities are located within 25 miles of BLM-managed public lands.1 The BLM’s transportation system is in many ways an “unsung hero” in supporting the achievement of the agency’s mission, providing access to BLM-managed public lands across the country “to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.” The BLM’s roads, primitive roads (i.e., roads that are typically used by four-wheel drive or high clearance vehicles and do not customarily meet any BLM road design standards), trails, and bridges provide connections to BLM-managed lands used for economic development, recreation, and conservation.
  
  Transportation Connections 2040 is the BLM’s first National Long Range Transportation Plan. This plan fulfills the long range transportation planning requirements for Federal Land Management agencies in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, and it establishes a holistic, strategic vision for the BLM’s transportation program. The BLM’s ultimate goal is to use this plan to invest its limited transportation funds wisely to benefit its many users and to enhance connections with neighboring communities. This plan includes a set of goals and objectives for the transportation program and a performance-based framework for implementation and monitoring.
