Federal Lands Transportation Program

Road with Grinnell Point in background

The first interagency agreement between the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public Roads (predecessor of today’s Federal Highway Administration) to provide road design and construction assistance was executed in February 1926. Today, the partnership between the two agencies continues as the Federal Lands Transportation Program. It is one of the longest formal partnerships between any two federal agencies. The NPS Federal Lands Transportation Program uses transportation industry standards and performance-based, data-driven decisions to maintain and modernize its transportation system.
