Background The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) mission is dedicated to enhancing a world-class highway system that promotes safety, mobility, and economic growth while improving the quality of life of all Americans. Within FHWA, Federal Lands Highways (FLH) is enabled and entrusted to administer a variety of programs and funding to facilitate transportation improvements for our many Federal Land Management Agency (FLMA) Partners. These Partners include the National Park Service (NPS), USDA Forest Service (FS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Tribal Governments, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). What DOES FLH Do? Since the early 1900s, FLH has assisted its FLMA Partners in designing and constructing aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sensitive highway and bridge projects. This includes the original planning, design, and construction of numerous roads and bridges within our National Parks and National Forests. FLH delivers successful projects through strong project management, from inception to completion, fostering continuous coordination with our Partners to facilitate delivery. To ensure successful delivery, FLH applies innovative and diverse solutions tailored to each project's unique challenges. Context sensitivity, a design philosophy ingrained in our culture, is critical to meeting the unique missions, values, and needs of our Partners and the public. FLH collaborates closely with its Partners to build roads and bridges that meet the transportation community's standards while balancing, respecting, and protecting the resources in which they are located. FLH’s Vision A safe, reliable, equitable, and resilient transportation system for all those accessing Federal and Tribal Lands.
