Biking on Long-Distance Trails Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 117th Congress ended.

Biking on Long-Distance Trails Act

This bill establishes requirements related to long-distance bike trails.

The Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) shall identify

  • not fewer than 10 long-distance bike trails that make use of existing trails and roads, and
  • not fewer than 10 areas in which there is an opportunity to develop or complete a trail that would qualify as a long-distance bike trail.

Interior and USDA shall

  • develop a process to allow members of the public to comment regarding the identification of trails and areas; and
  • consider the identification, development, and completion of long-distance bike trails in a geographically equitable manner.

The Department concerned shall ensure that each identified long-distance bike trail or area does not conflict with

  • the uses of any trail or road that is part of that long-distance bike trail;
  • multiple-use areas where biking, hiking, horseback riding, or use by pack and saddle stock are existing uses;
  • the purposes for which any trail was or is established under the National Trails System Act; and
  • any area managed under the Wilderness Act.

The Department concerned shall also ensure that each identified long-distance trail or area complies with land use and management plans of the federal recreational lands that are part of that long-distance bike trail.
