Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) 

Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $904,153 FY 2014: $910,945 FY 2015: $892,682 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs : 1.93% Federal public road miles: 319.1 Number of Federal public bridges: 20 Recreational visitation: 24,337,352 visitors per year 

Success Story: Wilborn Creek Road (County Road 625E) in Moultrie County, IL- Wilborn Creek Road provides direct access to the Wilborn Creek Recreation area associated with Army Corps of Engineers Lake Shelbyville Project. Lake Shelbyville is the outdoor recreation hub of central Illinois with over 4 million visitors per year. The existing roadway has cracking, extensive patching, and a substandard reverse curve. The rehabilitation work will consist of cold-in-place recycling of the existing 5 3/4-inch hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement and placing a HMA overlay. Culverts will be removed and replaced with reinforced concrete culverts as necessary. Safety improvements will include reconstructing the substandard reverse curve to provide a better transition to the township administered road at the end of the project and minor geometric design changes at intersecting side roads to accommodate school buses. The project will improve safety and vehicular access to Wilborn Creek Recreation Area as well as other public access points along Lake Shelbyville.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was one call for projects, from July 1, 2013 until August 30, 2013, that generated 3 applications totaling $2,324,712 funds requested.
