The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and One Voice recently submitted joint comments to the Bureau of Land Management regarding proposed revisions to its Lands with Wilderness Characteristics (LWC) policy. The organizations are asking BLM to provide greater clarity and certainty in the wilderness inventory process, arguing that Congress intended wilderness inventories to reach a conclusion rather than continue indefinitely. The comments emphasize the need to maintain a balanced multiple-use approach to public lands, protect motorized recreational access, and ensure land-management policies support both responsible resource protection and meaningful public access.

In a June 7, 2026 letter to the BLM Price Field Office, a coalition of motorized recreation groups (including United Four Wheel Drive Associations, One Voice, COHVCO, CORE, and others) strongly supports reopening the proposed routes in the San Rafael Swell and San Rafael Desert Travel Management Plan reassessments, but insists this is only a first step. They argue the underlying plans remain fundamentally out of balance—citing “minimizing impacts” hundreds of times while never addressing the statutory mandate for “adequate roads and adequate trails” under the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act and 16 U.S.C. § 538a—especially after President Trump’s May 29, 2026 removal of the old minimization criteria, passage of the Explore Act, and new executive and secretarial orders requiring expanded access, emergency-response capacity, and high-quality recreation opportunities. The groups call for an immediate reopening of all routes not clearly prohibited, followed by a full multi-phased inventory and revision that accounts for post-2019 congressional wilderness designations (which closed nearly 20% of the area), road-to-trail conversion analysis, and the full suite of current legal standards.

In a November 17, 2025 letter to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, leading motorized recreation groups—SEMA, the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), United Four-Wheel Drive Association, and One Voice—voiced strong concerns about the proposed Coyote Creek Agrivoltaic Solar Project (PLNP2021-00191) adjacent to Prairie City SVRA. They argue the project risks short- and long-term harm to the SVRA’s decades-old recreational value (including major events like the Hangtown National motocross), which serves over 1.5 million local residents and has received tens of millions in public investment. The groups criticize the FEIR’s limited analysis (especially Appendix A) for placing the burden of mitigating conflicts—such as dust from legal OHV use—on the publicly funded State Park rather than requiring collaborative, shared-resource solutions with the for-profit developer, and call for far more thorough review of indirect impacts, transmission infrastructure, and balanced planning that fully accounts for both recreation and private property rights.

In a September 15, 2025 letter, a coalition of major OHV groups (ORBA, One Voice, SEMA, United Four-Wheel Drive Association, AMA District 37, American Sand Association, EcoLogic Partners, and the American Motorcyclist Association) voiced vigorous opposition to every alternative in the Navy’s 29 Palms Airspace Environmental Assessment. The organizations—key partners in securing the 2014 NDAA designation of the Johnson Valley OHV Area—argue the EA is fundamentally flawed: it ignores the Congressionally required Resource Management Group process, treats the area as year-round military training space despite the NDAA’s clear limit of only two 30-day periods, relies on an inadequate EA instead of a full EIS, contains contradictory descriptions of expanded live-fire and low-level aircraft operations, and fails to analyze noise, public-safety, economic (including the $34 million King of the Hammers impact), and species impacts on the Congressionally protected OHV area. They conclude that only the No-Action Alternative is legally and factually supportable.
