Proposed rule

Bicycle Use in Park Areas

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register Sept. 1, 2026. Document 2026-17902. Updated Nov. 6, 2026.

What it does

The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to modify the procedural requirements in existing NPS regulations for the designation of roads and trails for bicycle use within park areas. The changes would align NPS regulations with applicable Federal law and policy, remove unnecessary requirements, and ensure public involvement when needed. The changes in this rule would allow the NPS to manage its resources and allocate taxpayer funds more efficiently and streamline the approval of new and expanded opportunities for use and enjoyment of park areas by the American public.
