 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

The Commuter Parkway Safety and Reliability Act

This bill requires the National Park Service (NPS) to prioritize the funds made available under the federal lands transportation program for high-commuter corridors. (A high-commuter corridor is a federal lands transportation facility administered by the NPS that has average annual daily traffic of not less than 20,000 vehicles.)

If the NPS determines that a high-commuter corridor requires additional investment it must submit to the state

  • information on the condition of pavements and bridges;
  • an estimate of the amounts needed to bring such corridor into a state of good repair, taking into consideration any planned future investments; and
  • at its discretion, a request that the state transfer to the NPS a portion of the amounts necessary to address the condition of the corridor.

The bill sets forth the criteria the NPS must consider when making a determination of whether a a high-commuter corridor requires additional investment.
