About Us

USA-ALL defends public access and recreation on public lands whenever and wherever it is threatened! We work with local user groups and land managers to promote responsible recreation and protect access.

Facing off with anti-access groups Utah Shared Access Alliance ( USA-ALL ) was founded in 1999 to push back against the forces of radical environmental and anti-access groups trying to remove motorized and mechanized recreation from public lands in Utah. Our enemies are well-funded and highly motivated, but we have the facts, the truth, and the people on our side. All we need are the resources required to continue the fight against public land closures.

With over 10,000 members, USA-ALL is the largest group working exclusively on public land access issues in Utah. We’ve won numerous cases from local jurisdictions all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We’ve also prevented closures by working with local governments and land managers.

Our Mission

To defend equality of shared access, educate the public, and empower user groups while conserving our public lands for the benefit of all.

What We Do

We educate the general public as to the issues concerning Vehicle Assisted Recreation and Access (VARA) and to dispel misconceptions and myths commonly associated with this activity.

We educate legislators and aid their efforts to craft responsible legislation that does not violate the rights of motorized and mechanized recreationists.

We educate the recreating public to help them understand and participate in the complicated land management planning process.

We help develop partnerships between land managers and users in order to better provide recreational opportunities while protecting our natural resources.

We participate in public land management planning activities so that management plans are balanced and enforceable.

We counter the unfair influence of the Wilderness Advocacy Groups (WAGS) within public land managing agencies.
