Parkway Safety and Reinvestment Act
United States119th CongressHR-6778House of Representatives
Updated: Mar 26, 2026
Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to implement and utilize speed safety cameras on highways located within the National Park System. The Secretary gains the authority to issue citations and assess civil penalties for traffic violations recorded by these cameras, following due process including notice and an opportunity for a hearing. A significant provision allows the Secretary to collect and expend, without requiring further appropriation, all revenues generated from these speed safety camera citations. These funds are specifically earmarked for two primary purposes: construction and maintenance of the covered highways and parking facilities within the National Park System unit where the citation occurred, and the installation, repair, and maintenance of the speed safety cameras themselves. The bill also permits the Secretary to enter into agreements with external entities for the management and upkeep of these camera systems. Crucially, the implementation and operation of these speed safety cameras must strictly adhere to the State laws of the jurisdiction in which the applicable portion of the covered highway is situated. This ensures that federal enforcement aligns with local regulations regarding automated traffic enforcement.
