| Abstract | The purpose of the Dyea Area transportation feasibility study for Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (KLGO) is to understand current conditions for transit access between Skagway and Dyea and to evaluate where there is demand or opportunities to enhance access to the Dyea unit of KLGO from Skagway, Alaska. This study is not a plan and will not result in a decision or project without further planning and community engagement. However, this study will provide KLGO and the National Park Service (NPS) Alaska Region (AKR) with information and analysis to better understand the current state of transportation access to Dyea and the feasibility of potential enhanced access. NPS and KLGO are not considering an NPS-owned or operated transit system between Skagway and Dyea, and are instead considering a range of business models to support partnerships with local transportation providers. The specific goals of this study are to understand current conditions and demand for transit service between Skagway and Dyea; consider the long-term sustainability of service; and consider visitation and transportation trends and anticipate future needs. |
