In an effort to reduce congestion and provide visitors with certainty that they'll be able to enter the park, Arches National Park will use a reservation system in 2022 to see if it solves those problems.
Such a proposal was raised back in 2017, when the park released a draft Traffic Congestion Management Plan. However, concerns that it could cost the Moab area upwards of $22 million in lost economic spending prompted the National Park Service to take a look at several other options for managing traffic. Among the options the park staff said it would examine were a shuttle system, which previously was deemed impractical, and a secondary entrance road, something Utah's governor had suggested.
