Hovercraft access to NPS waterways
Sign Now
Below is a petition to be delivered to the Director of the U.S. National Parks Services. Currently the "Code of Federal Regulations, Title 36, Volume 1, Chapter 1, Part 2, Section 2.17 Paragraph (e). States: "The operation or use of hovercraft is prohibited".
Those who know the operating characteristics of hovercraft, know they are unquestionably the most environmentally friendly modes of transport currently available for the variety of conditions that a hovercraft is capable of traversing. As the hovercraft technology is advancing day by day and becoming quieter, more efficient, and safer then ever before. In light of this we would like to make it perfectly clear the access rules are the only rules we wish modified. ALL noise abatement, safe operations and waterways use, rules are neither requested to be changed nor expected to be. We simply want equality with other crafts allowed access to the waterways.
We the hovercraft owners, operators and enthusiasts, feel that we and our machines have been unfairly completely banned from the use of the N.P.S. waterways without justification. We do not expect or demand special treatment, just fair and equal consideration given to powerboats and other motorized vehicles now allowed on the National Parks Services waterways.
We request and petition the Director and any other ruling body to reconsider the current prohibition. We do not expect an immediate total repeal of the rule, rather we would like to suggest a modification and/or some alternatives for consideration:
