America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act

The America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act would amend federal law to clarify that a single America the Beautiful Annual Pass permits entry for two motorcycles into national parks and federal recreational lands. This legislation addresses a 2024 policy change that reduced motorcycle access by allowing only one motorcycle per pass, whereas cars and bicycles continued to receive broader access privileges. The bill would restore parity by allowing two riders on separate motorcycles to share one annual pass, similar to how multiple passengers in a car or bicyclists can use a single pass.

The practical impact for motorcycle enthusiasts would be cost savings and improved access to national parks. Currently, two riders traveling together on separate motorcycles would need to purchase two separate annual passes to gain entry. If enacted, they would be able to use a single pass, reducing expenses for motorcycle tourism and recreation. The bill would codify this policy in federal guidance, providing certainty for riders rather than relying on administrative decisions that could change.
