• Abstract:
  This report studies the feasibility of alternative solutions to several transportation problems affecting Petersburg National Battlefield in Petersburg, Virginia. Current transportation problems include site-specific access issues, wayfinding and navigational challenges, and inefficient transportation-based interpretive programs. The report evaluates opportunities for a new shuttle program that will replace an existing caravan tour, a comprehensive signage program for managing all directional signs, non-motorized access and connectivity, and technology-based wayfinding and interpretation. With a proposal in Congress to expand the boundaries of the Battlefield, the document also illustrates potential transportation implications as new land holdings are acquired, including signage, parking, wayfinding, and shuttle routes.
