• Abstract:
  This report summarizes a study that assessed the feasibility of a proposed town-led shuttle service that would connect cultural and recreational points of interest and community resources in the towns of Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, and in the Minute Man National Historic Park (MIMA). It is not a detailed plan and will not result in a decision or project without further planning and organization among stakeholders. As stakeholders move forward toward implementation, other analyses will be necessary, such as service planning. Notably, the novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic occurred during the study, impacting conditions during the analysis, and also potentially resulting in longer-term changes that may impact the assumptions of this study. It was not within the scope of this study to predict conditions and changes post-pandemic, but the study does identify key areas to reassess post-pandemic, such as ridership assumptions and traffic conditions.
