NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM TO BENEFIT BILLIONS FROM INFRASTRUCTURE LEGISLATION

From better roads and bridges, improved connectivity to wildlife, better
watersheds, and climate change mitigation initiatives, the $1 trillion
infrastructure plan approved by Congress is expected to cover all angles of the
National Park System.

According to a report, funding will be made available for projects designed to
minimize collisions between animals and vehicles as well as to pay for the
rehabilitation of roads such as the Tioga Road through Yosemite National Park
and also make investments in improving the habitat of wildlife.

“Congress demonstrated a common ground commitment to repairing America’s
infrastructure, including in our national parks and surrounding communities,”
National Parks Conservation Association President Theresa Pierno said last week
after Congress passed the infrastructure package and sent it to President Joe
Biden for his signature.

“This major legislative victory supports communities as they recover from the
ongoing pandemic, while also building back and strengthening park roads,
bridges, transit, and water systems in the face of climate change.”

“This investment in America is also an investment in our 423 national parks. The
Great Smoky Mountains need bridge repairs and efforts to keep black bears and
drivers safe along the popular Pigeon River Gorge roadway,” added Pierno.

“In Denali, the climate crisis has created impassible landslides on the road
that leads into the heart of the park, requiring innovative solutions with a
multimillion-dollar price-tag. And investing in a new shuttle service to Pullman
National Monument on Chicago’s Southside will connect people with parks and
support local tourism.”

The legislation approved following Congress in 2020, voted to pour $6.5 billion
into the park system in the next five years to address neglected maintenance
stands, to provide the largest one-two funding ever in the park system, which
has been struggling to keep up with the increasing demands for maintenance and
is being affected by climate change.

The bill’s passage also shines the spotlight over Charles F. Sams’ nomination to
head the National Park Service. Some senators raised questions last month about
how the Park Service was deciding where it was best to allocate $1.3 billion
annually it gets to deal with the backlog of maintenance.

At the time of the hearing last month, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana) requested
Sams—should he be confirmed—ensure that the funds are “distributed fairly among
the parks and the states, no matter their location or their size.”

How the Park Service is spending Great American Outdoor Act funding was also
brought up by Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, who stated that Virginia,
North Carolina, and New York—three states that have a small amount of federal
land—received millions more GAOA dollars than Utah which is a state in which the
federal government has 66 to 67 percent of the land and in which national parks
struggle with issues of maintenance.

For Sams, if the entire Senate confirms him to become the Park Service director,
the money in the Infrastructure package provides an opportunity to oversee major
improvements in the park system and make sure that the money is equally
distributed across the large and small units of the park system.

The people who were following Congress in the process of constructing the
infrastructure package noted that it would introduce the following initiatives
and funds into national parks and other areas:

 * $350 million to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and support enhanced
   connectivity to help animals adapt to the changing climate. Each year an
   estimated 1-2 million collisions with large species results in close to
   30,000 human injuries and hundreds of fatalities. These accidents add up to
   $8 billion in costs to motorists.
 * $1.4 billion so visitors can better access the park system and other public
   lands through the Federal Lands Access Program. Such transportation
   investments can also reduce emissions as well as congestion in some of the
   most visited parks.
 * $3.2 billion for aquatic ecosystem restoration projects and ecosystem
   restoration programs in the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, and Delaware Basin
   to restore and better protect the waterways and surrounding communities from
   intensifying climate-change threats.
 * $355 million a year for large repair projects by federal land management
   agencies and tribes. Park benefits could include reconstruction of the Grand
   Loop Road in Yellowstone and Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park.
 * $35 billion in wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water infrastructure
   investments to help improve water quality across America, including within
   national park boundaries and park-adjacent communities.
 * Significant investments in programs aimed at enhancing the resiliency of
   Western watersheds to climate change and drought, including $300 million to
   implement the Colorado River Drought Contingency Plans, $3.2 billion to
   modernize aging agricultural infrastructure and generate benefits for fish
   and wildlife, and $50 million to support ongoing Endangered Species recovery
   efforts that sustain habitat for native fish.

The Outdoor Recreation Roundtable was delighted about the funding package, where
President Jessica Wahl Turner said it carries $100 million for outdoor
recreation infrastructure support.

“This infrastructure package provides an opportunity to not only rebuild our
crumbling roads, bridges, and airports but also to improve the infrastructure
behind our beloved public lands and waters,” she said. 

“Meaningful investments in transportation, public lands, rural development, and
natural infrastructure connect more people to the outdoors and strengthen the
outdoor recreation economy. This creates new jobs, helps the U.S. remain
globally competitive, and ensures we recover from the impacts the pandemic has
had on businesses, local communities, our health, and our quality of life.”
