| Abstract | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Volpe Center (Volpe Center) conducted a regional alternative transportation evaluation (RATE) in Region 3, which is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin, to ensure effective consideration and integration of alternative transportation systems (ATS) into the goals and recommendations of the Region 3 long-range transportation plan (LRTP). Staff from the Volpe Center, FWS Region 3, and Eastern Federal Lands Highways (EFLH) met in Bloomington, Minnesota, in June 2011, to discuss alternative transportation needs and constraints in the region and to develop an ATS Questionnaire. This RATE team then visited Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Upper Mississippi NWR – La Crosse District, Necedah NWR, Genoa National Fish Hatchery, and Leopold Wetland Management District to identify specific opportunities for ATS in these stations. The RATE also provided insights and lessons on how ATS may be instituted more broadly across Region 3. |
