The Bureau of Land Management  sought public comment on proposed changes to motorized vehicle route designations within the San Rafael Swell and Desert travel management area plans in central Utah. The BLM reassessed whether certain routes currently designated as closed to off-highway vehicles (OHVs) should be changed to open, limited, or clos

In the San Rafael Swell Travel Management Plan, completed in 2024, the BLM designated about 1,355 miles of routes as open to OHV travel. The BLM also designated about 141 miles of routes as available for limited OHV use, and about 665 miles of routes as closed to OHVs. The BLM is considering opening, limiting, or closing approximately 226 miles in this area during the current reassessment.

If BLM concludes that any designations should change, the agency will issue new decisions amending the plans. Online area maps show routes the BLM is considering for redesignation.

The Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office created a comment letter generator to help the public craft substantive comments. This map will remain publicly available although the BLM is no longer acceptin public comments.
