This bill directs the Department of Interior and Department of Agriculture to work on expanding parking availability at federal recreation areas like national forests and public lands. The legislation allows these agencies to partner with private companies, state and local governments, or lease private land to add parking spaces without requiring the federal government to build and maintain new facilities itself. The bill also encourages the agencies to use technology solutions such as trailhead cameras and mobile apps to help visitors find available parking and plan visits more effectively. The legislation applies to all federal recreational lands and waters managed by these two departments, and any parking expansion must follow existing laws, not harm critical wildlife habitats, and minimize additional maintenance costs for the federal government. No specific funding amount or timeline is specified in the bill.
