Abstract:This study for the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) identifies and analyzes options for enhancing existing transit service at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (the Refuge), a regional destination in Florida’s Space Coast which serves approximately 1 million visitors annually. The Refuge, a popular destination for birders and tourists, experiences seasonal congestion at high-use visitor sites. Additionally, the Refuge acknowledges the opportunity to expand access to new user groups and serve visitors in a more sustainable manner through transit. The study team researched existing conditions on the Refuge and the surrounding community, safety, staff capacity, financial resources, and other considerations to develop a number of short- and long-term transit scenarios. The study presents specific considerations for FWS and its partners as they move to enhance transit service on the Refuge.
