Abstract:Rocky Mountain National Park (ROMO) has maintained a consistent level of visitation over the
last few years, approximately 3 million annual visitors (1). About 40% of these visitors come
from the “front range.” The “front range” includes residents of Denver, Fort Collins, and their
surrounding suburbs. Visitation is concentrated during the peak summer season. Concentrated
visitation results in serious congestion in ROMO and its gateway community of Estes Park,
Colorado. In an effort to reduce congestion and improve visitor experience, a pilot Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) composed of Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and Highway
Advisory Radio (HAR) will be implemented during the summer of 2011. A more in-depth
discussion of the system and its implementation can be found in the Rocky Mountain National
Park Dynamic Message Sign/Highway Advisory Radio Operations Plan (2).
This document presents a plan for evaluating the effectiveness of the ITS in achieving the project
goals. The goals, objectives, performance measures and data sources are discussed in the next
section. The subsequent section discusses the specific data collection needs defined for this
evaluation. The final section describes how the data will be utilized in the analysis.
