Pew Letter Expresses Support for 3 Areas of Transportation Bill

The National Park Service (NPS) is over 100 years old, and the infrastructure and facilities at the more than 400 sites it manages nationwide are aging. Add wear and tear from visitors and inconsistent annual funding, and the park service can’t keep pace with needed repairs. NPS’ maintenance backlog has grown to an estimated $13.1 billion, and more than half of that is for highest-priority assets.

The seasonal migration patterns of North American wildlife such as mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and elk play an essential role in sustaining these animals throughout the year.
