FLAP Reauthorization Act
Funding for Roads and Bridges Near Federal Lands
Legislative Progress
Senate
Key Points
- This bill continues a federal program that pays for roads, bridges, and trails that lead into or are located near federal lands like national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges.
- The plan authorizes about $1.6 billion in total funding over five years, starting with $314 million in 2027 and increasing slightly each year until it reaches $334 million in 2031.
- This funding helps state and local governments maintain transportation routes that provide public access to federal areas, which is important because these local agencies often lack the budget to handle the high traffic from tourists and visitors.
- People who visit national parks or live in communities near federal lands would see the most benefit through better-maintained roads and safer access to outdoor recreation areas.
