CHAPTER 79--NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER IV--FEES FOR USE OF NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM
Sec. 5981. Fees
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where the National Park
Service or an entity under a service contract with the National Park
Service provides transportation to all or a portion of any unit of the
National Park System, the Secretary may impose a reasonable and
appropriate charge to the public for the use of such transportation
services in addition to any admission fee required to be paid.
Collection of both the transportation and admission fees may occur at
the transportation staging area or any other reasonably convenient
location determined by the Secretary. The Secretary may enter into
agreements with public or private entities, who qualify to the
Secretary's satisfaction, to collect the transportation and admission
fee. Such transportation fees collected as per this section shall be
retained by the unit of the National Park System at which the
transportation fee was collected and the amount retained shall be
expended only for costs associated with the transportation systems at
the unit where the charge was imposed.
