Federal Highway Administration wants to stop measuring how well it manages national park roads

The Federal Highway Administration proposes to eliminate rules that require it to use management systems for national park roads. This means the agency would no longer have to track and report on how it maintains these roads.

For two decades, the agency had to use specific systems to manage and report on the condition of roads in national parks. Removing these rules means less transparency about how federal money is spent on park infrastructure. It also makes it harder for the public to know if park roads are being maintained properly.
