Welcome to the Office of Federal Lands Highway

The Office of Federal Lands Highway is a part of the US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The Office of Federal Lands Highway (FLH) provides program stewardship and transportation engineering services for planning, design, construction, and rehabilitation of the highways and bridges that provide access to and through federally owned lands. FHWA's initial partnership began with the US Forest Service in 1914 and expanded to the National Park Service in 1926.

The Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP) was created by the 1982 Surface Transportation Assistance Act and signed by President Reagan on January 6, 1983.

The primary purpose of the FLHP is to provide financial resources and technical assistance for a coordinated program of public roads that service the transportation needs of Federal and Indian lands. The FLH currently provides transportation engineering and relates services in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. One of the major factors associated with the success of the program is the Federal Highway Administration's strong relationship with our Federal, State, local, and tribal partners.
