Abstract:The Volpe Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) is providing transportation support to Martin Van Buren National Historic Site's (NHS) first General Management Plan (GMP), which will be complete in 2010 or 2011. Currently, Martin Van Buren NHS attracts between 20,000 and 25,000 visitors per year. The National Park Service (NPS) predicts an increase in visitation to the site over the next five to ten years. The expectation of an increase in visitation is based on the park’s recent boundary expansion, plans for a new visitor center, and the park’s goal to integrate the site into existing Hudson River Valley tours.
This study investigates existing transportation infrastructure, local transportation links, and regional transportation connections. The study looks at how alternative transportation may attract additional park visitors, accommodate event visitation, and incorporate new park activities.
