Addressing the transportation challenge

the long version

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) maintains a transportation network more than one and half times the size of the Interstate Highway System. This network of roads, bridges, and trails cross the nearly 250 million acres of BLM-administered public lands providing access to vital economic and recreational opportunities throughout the West, including the National Landscape Conservation System ... In addition, the BLM's transportation network provides critical access for law enforcement and firefighting agencies with responsibility for providing these services on federal lands.
