Land managers can benefit from each other’s successes and lessons learned through existing alternative transportation system (ATS) deployment efforts. For this reason, the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Parks Technical Assistance Center assembled a set of four case studies to document those successes and examine those lessons. The case studies focused on the partnerships that allowed the ATS to be implemented, integrated with other ATSs, and operated and, in some cases, to remain financially sustainable. The four partnership case studies were the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, the North Moab Recreation Area, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and the Grand Island National Recreation Area. The objective of this study was to share the ATS model and partnership lessons learned from each of the four partnering endeavors. Although each of the four case studies had its own unique ATS and set of partners, the partnership lessons learned had some major common themes, including choosing partners carefully, clearly identifying partners’ roles and responsibilities, meeting with partners on a regular basis, and making ongoing communication a priority. The ATS lessons learned also had some major common themes, including identifying support for the ATS both in the community and with national land management agency leaders and creating detailed financial plans and vehicle specifications.
