What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Parkway Safety and Reinvestment Act," authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to use revenue from speed safety cameras on highways within the National Park System. The Secretary may issue citations and assess civil penalties for traffic violations on covered highways. The collected revenue can be used directly for the construction and maintenance of highways and parking facilities within the specific National Park unit where the citation occurred. Additionally, the funds can be used for the installation, repair, and maintenance of the speed safety cameras themselves. The Secretary is also authorized to enter into agreements with persons for camera-related tasks. All camera use must comply with the laws of the State where the highway is located.
