Abstract:This study for the U.S. Forest Service provides a preliminary analysis and set of recommendations to support the agency's work moving forward to implement a shuttle system at Colorado’s popular Pikes Peak in Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The purpose of this project is to manage visitation when the Summit House and parking area are closed for reconstruction in the next few years. This report provides an analysis on recent visitation trends, followed by a presentation of two proposed shuttle scenarios: a mandatory service during construction, and a voluntary service after construction. Proposed scenarios includes a vehicle recommendation, description of possible staging areas, and preliminary cost estimates. The report concludes with an initial timeline for implementation and recommended next steps.
