| Abstract | The FWS placed five electric trams in service at five National Wildlife Refuges in early 2012. This report describes how FWS is using the trams and evaluates how well the trams are performing. Collectively, the trams have been well-received and are liked by visitors and staff alike for their easy and quiet operation, which is particularly important to groups eager to view birds and other wildlife that are sensitive to noise. The Specialty Vehicles tram and the CitEcar, while similar in design and layout, have achieved varying results, which are summarized in the report and presented by vehicle type. |
