| Abstract | This study assesses the potential for an alternative transportation system (ATS) at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site (NHS). The Volpe Center investigated internal circulation and potential partnerships with local historic, cultural, and recreational facilities for external circulators or tours. The project supplements existing efforts by the Hopewell Big Woods Partnership and proposes roles for NPS and other partners in further alternative transportation initiatives. Volpe Center staff conducted telephone and in-person interviews, reviewed regional plans and reports, and performed two site visits to Hopewell Furnace NHS and the surrounding area. Findings were used to assess the potential for various types of transportation services at and to Hopewell Furnace NHS. Recommendations regarding wayfinding and improving awareness of the Hopewell Furnace NHS; accessibility improvements for visitors with mobility limitations; regular and special event external circulator routes; and shuttles to the adjacent French Creek State Park. |
