Program.
    Abstract: Section 3021 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 
Efficient Transportation Equity Act--A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), 
as amended, established the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program 
(Transit in Parks Program--49 U.S.C. 5320). The program is administered 
by FTA in partnership with the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the

and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest 
Service, the Bureau of Reclamation; and State, tribal and local 
governments with jurisdiction over land in the vicinity of an eligible 
area, acting with the consent of a federal land management agency, 
alone or in partnership with a Federal land management agency or other 
governmental or non-governmental participant. The purpose of the 
program is to provide for the planning and capital costs of alternative 
transportation systems that will enhance the protection of national 
parks and Federal lands; increase the enjoyment of visitors' experience 
by conserving natural, historical, and cultural resources; reduce 
congestion and pollution; improve visitor mobility and accessibility;
