| Abstract | An increase in the intensity of visitation and an associated increase in congestion entering the Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge prompted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to find solutions to ease ongoing traffic-related problems. Working with the USFWS, a project team composed of staff from the Volpe Center and Central Federal Lands Highway Division evaluated the existing conditions of transportation infrastructure on the Refuge and in the region and then analyzed the feasibility of implementing transportation strategies included in the Refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan. These strategies include implementing a visitor shuttle service, improved visitor information, fee change/structures, parking management, temporary traffic control measures, intelligent transportation systems, and non-motorized access to the refuge. The project team analyzed these strategies and recommended a set of short-, medium-, and long-term actions for implementation. Over the course of the project, the team also led several on-site stakeholder meetings and participated in public meetings in the County of Kaua‘i. The recommended actions, as well as the existing conditions reports, are included here as a final report that draws upon the feedback of Refuge staff and stakeholders to create sustainable transportation solutions. |
