Bill overview
The Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act aims to improve access to public lands for people with disabilities. It directs the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to update travel management plans and motor vehicle use maps, prioritizing roads that provide recreational opportunities and ensuring public land is designated as ‘disability-accessible land’ based on road accessibility. The bill also outlines procedures for closing roads, requiring public notice and hearings, and establishing a presumption that roads should remain open unless a compelling reason exists for closure.
