Why you should submit here, even if you already have elsewhere!

We keep them honest. If everyone only comments through the government/agency site, we have to take their word on how many comments were received. By submitting through BRC, we create an independent record of our community’s response that can’t be buried or under-reported.

We protect your voice. If this fight ends up in court, having our own record of submitted comments means we don’t have to wait a year or more for a government agency to turn over documents. We can move quickly with proof that thousands of you spoke up.
We keep you in the loop. When you comment through our site, we can send you updates on what comes next. If you only use the government/agency site, you’re depending on them to tell you what happens next — and they won’t.

Double coverage matters. Even if you’ve already commented through the government/agency site, submitting through ours makes your voice count twice — once in their system, and once in ours. That way they know the OHV community is watching and tracking every move.

For years, BRC has been trusted to run action alerts like this. Thousands of members and supporters have used this system effectively to defend access to public lands. This isn’t about collecting your info — it’s about building the strongest, most transparent record possible to hold agencies accountable.

April 11, 2025

​In January 2025, during the final hours of the Biden administration, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released the Henry Mountains and Fremont Gorge Travel Management Plan (TMP). This plan designates 1,642 miles of routes for year-round use and closes approximately 612 miles of routes to motorized vehicles, including off-highway vehicles (OHVs), trucks, and motorcycles, within the 1.45-million-acre planning area in Wayne and Garfield counties, Utah. ​

The TMP does not align with the objectives of the EXPLORE Act, enacted in January 2025, which aims to enhance public access to outdoor recreation and improve management of public lands by expanding motorized recreation specifically. The closures imposed by the TMP are seen as contradictory to the EXPLORE Act's goals of expanding recreational opportunities and ensuring equitable access to public lands. 

In response to these closures, Representative Celeste Maloy (UT) introduced legislation to nullify the Henry Mountains and Fremont Gorge TMP, citing concerns over restricted access and diminished recreational opportunities. The proposed bill seeks to prevent the implementation of the TMP and maintain access to these public lands for motorized recreation enthusiasts. 

This bill will keep these historic and crucial roads open and prevent the BLM from using a rushed through project to pander to the anti-access movement. Contact your representatives below to support his legislation!
