Abstract:

The historic and contemporary relationships between transportation and the national parks have given rise to a growing body of scientific and professional literature on this topic. Based on this literature, the authors develop and present a set of principles for managing sustainable transportation in the national parks. These principles address sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of transportation, enhancing the quality of the transportation-related visitor experience, and using transportation as a tool to achieve park management objectives.
