Description
The Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) is designed to improve transportation infrastructure that provides access to, is adjacent to, or is located within federal lands. Administered in partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation, the program funds projects such as public highways, roads, bridges, trails, and transit systems that enhance connectivity between communities and federal lands. The goal is to supplement state and local resources, especially for high-use recreation sites and economic generators, by providing flexible support for a wide range of transportation projects.
