The U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted 11-9 on February 4, 2026, to advance the Historic Roadways Protection Act. But our work isn’t done! The bill now heads to the full Senate floor and we need Senators to know this bill matters via the form below.
The Historic Roadways Protection Act is being voted on in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on February 4th. This crucial legislation, supported by BRC, would help protect hundreds of miles of closed Utah routes while courts decide ongoing R.S. 2477 right-of-way disputes. Tell your Senators to support by February 4th!
In their final days the outgoing administration finalized a Resource Management Plan for 1.87 million–acres of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument that dramatically restricts long-standing recreation and traditional uses. Congress is now pursuing a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the plan, and on January 15, 2026, the Government Accountability Office confirmed the RMP qualifies as a “rule” subject to CRA submission requirements. Urge your members of Congress to support the review and disapproval of the RMP to restore access for southern Utah’s rural communities and public land recreationists.
The U.S. Forest Service is taking public comment on a proposal to create a nationwide Environmental Assessment regarding post-wildfire recovery work. Right now, NEPA delays can stretch for years, leaving dangerous trees, erosion, damaged roads/trails, and burned timber to worsen while communities lose access and local economies take the hit. Canada often moves far more quickly after fires, and changes would help bring the U.S. closer to that more effective model. Comments are open through January 26. Add your voice below.

Earlier this year, we shared an infographic which illustrated how unbalanced public land restrictions have become. There are 640 million acres of public lands, and when you add up the acreage amounts of all the restrictive land designations, our multiple use lands...
A long-running bill dubbed the ‘America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act’ would radically reshape how millions of acres of Utah’s public lands are managed. Disguised as conservation, it would ban most recreation, silence local communities, and hand control to distant special interests—learn what’s really at stake and take action before it’s too late via the form below.
For decades, Moab’s trail system provided access to world-class riding, camping, and exploration across southeastern Utah. In recent years, sweeping land management decisions have eliminated that access by closing hundreds of miles of routes that supported generations...
Some of BlueRibbon Coalition’s biggest wins don’t happen in court—they happen at the table. Through the U.S. Forest Service objection process, BRC protects motorized access, dispersed camping, and recreation opportunities by pushing for better decisions before litigation is needed. The recent successes below show how early engagement delivers real results on the ground.
This year, BlueRibbon Coalition brought national attention to the U.S. Marine Corps' attempt to establish permanent Special Use Airspace (SUA) over the Johnson Valley Shared Use Area. In the face of a proposal that could jeopardize emergency medical response, disrupt...
