| Abstract | This report presents the first in a series of case studies on lessons learned from planning and implementing alternative transportation systems (ATS) and from developing partnerships with local and regional communities. The report is supported by the National Park Service’s Alternative Transportation Program (ATP), which promotes the introduction of transportation services that ease the impact of vehicle traffic on national park resources and the visitor experience. Results from these case studies illustrate the specific benefits that units of the National Park Service (NPS) can realize through partnering and help to build knowledge and expertise across NPS for planning and implementing ATS. |
