| Abstract | The purpose of this planning project is to analyze alternatives and design a Traveler Information System (TIS) that will enhance the experience of visitors to the NYNH parks and other sites managed by federal, state and local partners. The system will provide information to the traveler that will promote increased use of existing and future alternatives transportation systems in the New York City metropolitan area that service the parks and other sites. While the alternative transportation systems in the area are highly developed and very efficient, they can be confusing and intimidating for visitors. This TIS will be designed to improve that situation by providing better pre-trip planning and enhanced real time assistance while in the area. A successful TIS will result in increased use of alternative transportation, increased visitation to NY harbor attractions and substantially improved visitor experience. |
