The Eastern Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) focuses on improving transportation infrastructure to and within federal and tribal lands, including highways supporting military installations through the Defense Access Road (DAR) Program, which funds public highway improvements to mitigate unusual impacts from defense activities like increased personnel or oversized vehicles. As part of the Federal Lands Highway (FLH) organization, it administers DAR projects in coordination with the U.S. Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS) and supports defense-related efforts such as the Minuteman Missile Program by maintaining transporter erector routes, ensuring mission-critical access without direct involvement in aerospace development.
