PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle riders need to
act
now to tell the U.S. Department of the Interior that motorized recreation
should
be an important part of the department's new strategic plan, the American
Motorcyclist Association (AMA) said.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has set a March 1 deadline for public
comments in its effort to develop a new strategic plan. The new plan will be a
single agency-wide plan that will replace the department overview and nine
bureau plans now in place.
"It's critical that motorcyclists and ATVers let the department know that
continued motorized recreation should be an important goal in the new
strategic
plan because the department controls the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),"
said
Royce Wood, AMA legislative affairs specialist. "The BLM manages 264 million
acres of public land, including some of the best riding areas in the country.
"The AMA has been at the table in roundtable discussions with the
department, representing the interests of motorcyclists and ATVers," Wood
added.
"Written comments from motorcyclists and ATVers would help send a clear
message
that there is a critical need for motorized recreation to continue in the
future."
To tell the Department of the Interior that you support motorized
recreation as a key goal in the new strategic plan, e-mail your comments to
doistratplan@usgs.gov, send your comments by fax to (202) 208-2619, or write:
Department of the Interior, Office of Planning and Performance Management,
