Over the past decade, the number of visitors to our national parks has increased 34 percent, forcing many parks to require reservations, timed entry passes, and shuttle buses in order to limit crowds and traffic. This Memorial Day Weekend (one of the busiest weekends of the year), correspondent Conor Knighton spoke with PERC CEO Brian Yablonski to discuss how parks are dealing with increased visitation and creative ways to better manage the parks.
Brian Yablonski is the chief executive officer of PERC and the former chairman of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
