Accession Number: 00978508
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: New travel options, with expanded service on shuttle bus systems and ready information about transportation conditions and alternatives, are being encountered by visitors to many of the more popular parks in the U.S. These improvements represent the coordinated efforts of federal land management and transportation agencies, state governments, local communities, foundations, businesses, and other groups. Working together, these organizations are addressing critical transportation needs, providing options for travelers, and enhancing visitors' experiences, while preserving and protecting the natural features of the parks. This article reviews some of these cooperative initiatives and concludes with pointers for successful park transportation projects.
