• Abstract:
  This case study tells the story of a successful and collaborative transportation planning process at Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area (Boston Harbor Islands). By using an innovative approach to planning, Boston Harbor Islands has been able to secure political and financial support for its transportation needs. Rather than hiring an outside consultant to develop a transportation plan for the park, Boston Harbor Islands used planning funds from the NPS Alternative Transportation Program to work hand- in- hand with the partners of the park—nonprofit institutions, advocacy organizations, and municipal and state agencies—to create a vision for transportation at the park that all of the participants could embrace.
