The off-road community showed up and we made a difference. When the Marine Corps proposed changes to airspace over Johnson Valley, we made it clear this is a world-class OHV area, and any changes must protect access, safety, and the future of events like King of the...
California State Parks’ Draft EIS for Carnegie SVRA proposes converting significant open riding terrain into trails-only areas, adding new closures, and expanding buffer zones in a park specifically created for motorized recreation. BlueRibbon Coalition is concerned these changes shift management away from the SVRA’s core mission and reduce riding opportunities which are funded by OHV users. Riders are encouraged to submit comments supporting the No Action Alternative by March 10, 2026.
A recent federal court ruling will close more than 2,200 miles of designated OHV routes in the Mojave Desert via an expansive judicial interpretation of BLM’s minimization criteria. FLPMA requires the Bureau of Land Management to balance multiple-use recreation while preventing unnecessary degradation, yet the current application turns minimization into a default closure mandate that overrides Congress’s intent. BlueRibbon Coalition is calling on the Department of the Interior to immediately rescind or revise this framework—contact your representatives via the form below and tell them to support balanced public land management.
A federal judge has ordered the closure of 2,200 miles of legally designated OHV routes and vast swaths of the Mojave Desert—imposing land-use policy from the bench without Congress, community input, or accountability. This precedent puts all public land access at risk. Tell the Department of Justice to step in now and stop judicial overreach before these closures spread nationwide.
The Bureau of Reclamation has released its long-awaited draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Post-2026 Colorado River Operational Guidelines, which will shape how the system is managed through 2060. The analysis lays out several alternatives and also recognizes BlueRibbon Coalition’s recreation-focused “Path to 3588’” proposal. We summarize the different alternatives below. You can weigh in on the decision that will define the region’s water future via our form below. Comments are open until March 2, 2026.
7 million acre-feet of new water: BlueRibbon Coalition’s proposal addresses critical infrastructure & economic stability while respecting water rights & compacts.
New Endangered Species Act regulations are poised to shape what happens next at Oceano Dunes—one of the only remaining places in California where the public can legally ride OHVs on the beach and dunes. BRC supports a modified version of Alternative 2 because it reflects how the Endangered Species Act is intended to be administered and it will allow for continued and/or expanded OHV access on Oceano Dunes. Public comments are accepted through January 23, 2026!
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...
For far too long presidents have been abusing the Antiquities Act to bypass congress and lock up millions of acres of public land. Below we review BlueRibbon Coalition’s efforts to stop the abuse & how national monument designations adversely affect recreation.
It's been a couple of months since the community rallied together to voice our concerns regarding the U.S. Marine Corps' new Special Use Airspace (SUA) proposal, R2509, over Johnson Valley. As we mentioned after thousands of you took action, we're now in a "waiting"...
