H.R. 6778, the Parkway Safety and Reinvestment Act, would authorize the National Park Service to install speed safety cameras on highways within national parks and use the revenue from speeding citations to pay for road maintenance, construction, and camera upkeep without requiring separate congressional funding. The bill applies to drivers who speed on park roads and allows the Park Service to issue citations and civil penalties after providing notice and a hearing opportunity. Revenue collected from these automated cameras would go directly back into maintaining and improving the specific parkways where violations occur, as well as installing and maintaining the camera systems themselves. The Park Service could also hire contractors to install and maintain the cameras. Importantly, the bill requires compliance with each state's own laws regarding speed cameras, ensuring the program operates within existing legal frameworks in the states where national parks are located.
