The Great American Outdoors Act is providing crucial funding – up to $6.65 billion over five years – to fix our national parks’ crumbling roads, decaying buildings, outdated water systems and many more repair needs.
Nearly four years ago, through the persistence and dedication of NPCA and park advocates across the country, we witnessed the historic, bipartisan passage of the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA)
Despite the progress GAOA has made, the challenge persists, as the backlog of repair needs at national parks has reached $23 billion. The cost of routine maintenance needs simply outpaces annual funding from Congress.
We urge Congress to extend GAOA’s national park maintenance fund by providing at least five more years of needed investment to fix our parks.
