Abstract:

This report provides an analysis of new ways to facilitate visitation to the National Parks of Massachusetts through improved provision of traveler information. The report explores potential improvements to several elements of the region's Traveler Information System (TIS), including a system-wide visitor-oriented website. The report also identifies options for providing visitor orientation through a centralized transportation hub in Boston. A prominent partnership opportunity is that with the Boston Museum Project's planned history museum in downtown Boston.
