| Abstract | The Maroon Bells Scenic Area is a popular wilderness destination, and in recent years, has experienced significant visitor growth, resulting in high levels of traffic congestion and related transportation challenges. To better understand visitor characteristics and attitudes toward transportation management strategies, the Volpe Center, in partnership with the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) and Pitkin County, conducted a visitor survey at Maroon Bells from September 8 to September 17, 2018. This report outlines the results from that survey effort. Key findings include that respondents were evenly divided on a potential shuttle ticket reservation system, with about one-third of respondents in favor, one-third opposed, and another one-third neither favoring nor opposing. |
