Additional Transportation Planning To Address Impacts of Transportation on National Parks

This 1996 presidential memorandum directs the Secretaries of Transportation and Interior to develop regulations and plans addressing aircraft overflights and ground transportation congestion in national parks. It mandates specific rulemaking timelines for Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain, and other parks identified in a 1994 NPS study, while also requiring pilot programs for improved public transportation at Grand Canyon, Zion, and Yosemite.
