| Abstract | This report describes the alternative transportation challenges and opportunities for Morristown National Historical Park, located in New Jersey. Walking, bicycling, and using micromobility devices and mobility-assistive devices to travel within and between the four park areas and other nearby cultural, recreational and historical destinations, is a challenge due to the auto-oriented nature of the transportation network in the region. The report details infrastructural options for improving alternative transportation safety and accessibility, including traffic calming strategies, increasing visibility, and reducing vehicle speeds. The report also includes suggested operational strategies to encourage alternative transportation use. |
