National Park Service

The National Park Service (NPS) is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the diverse landscapes and histories of America's natural and cultural heritage across 428 national park units. Spanning over 85 million acres, NPS provides access to national parks, monuments, historic sites, and recreation areas, promoting exploration through a comprehensive transportation system. This system includes approximately 5,600 miles of paved roads, 7,500 miles of unpaved trails, and an extensive network of bridges, tunnels, and transit options, ensuring safe travel for millions of visitors each year.

NPS prioritizes multimodal transportation, offering bike and pedestrian trails, shuttle services to reduce congestion, and ferries that carry nearly 13 million passengers annually. By connecting people with nature, NPS’s innovative infrastructure not only facilitates travel but also inspires social change and historical awareness. Through continued advancements in transportation, the National Park Service enhances the visitor experience while safeguarding the beauty and significance of America's treasured landscapes for future generations.
