America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act
Key claim: HR4386 would require the America the Beautiful Annual Pass to cover entrance and standard amenity fees for a passholder motorcycle plus one additional motorcycle and their passengers on federal recreational lands, reversing a 2024 Interior limit of one motorcycle per pass and codifying noncommercial vehicle passenger coverage.
Abstract
(HR4386 · 119th Congress) America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act This bill allows an additional motorcycle, including passengers, to accompany a motorcyclist with an America the Beautiful Annual Pass when visiting federal recreational lands and waters. In 2024, the Department of the Interior limited the pass coverage to one motorcycle per pass rather than two. The bill specifies that the pass must cover the entrance fee and standard amenity recreation fee for the passholder and any passengers on the motorcycle along with one additional motorcycle with its passengers. The bill also codifies current Interior policy that the pass covers the fees for a passholder and any accompanying passengers in a noncommercial vehicle. Latest action (2026-03-04): Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Why this matters
Entrance and standard amenity fees on federal recreational lands directly affect public access costs and the revenue streams that fund site operations and maintenance. Restoring dual-motorcycle coverage under the America the Beautiful Annual Pass would lower per-visit costs for motorcycle riders traveling in pairs while modestly reducing fee receipts, and it clarifies passenger coverage that the 2024 Interior policy had narrowed.
