| Abstract | Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) has been operating in partnership with Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) since 1989 under a cooperative agreement. The railroad has been successfully developing and expanding services and ridership for the past 20 years along with NPS, which has been developing and expanding railroad infrastructure and facilities to meet the growing needs of CVSR. This report details a comprehensive rail study for CVNP and CVSR. It articulates coordinated, prioritized transportation investments and short/long term management actions over the next twenty years, consistent with the park's general management plan, CVSR's recently completed strategic plan, and other park and stakeholder guidance. Coordinated improvements and management actions will accommodate more future riders; improve the passenger experience; allow more park visitors to explore CVNP without the use of a personal automobile; reduce operations, maintenance, and administrative costs; and position CVNP and CVSR to take advantage of highly sought-after funding opportunities. |
