Abstract:

This visitor access and transportation guide presents opportunities to manage or improve circulation and travel patterns in areas managed by Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs), such as the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Transportation is only one element of visitor use management and should be considered in conjunction with cultural and environmental resource protection objectives and comprehensive long-range plans. Transportation strategies may both conventional transportation infrastructure as well as alternative transportation systems, such as shuttle bus systems. Depending on the circumstances of individual units, however, small-scale strategies, such as improvements at site entrances and visitor stations, and along roadways, parking areas, trailheads, and pull-offs, may be better suited to address specific visitor use management needs.

This guide provides examples of transportation strategies that vary in cost, scale, and transportation need as well as the lessons learned from past applications of different transportation measures. Through the implementation of these strategies, land managers may avoid or defer the expense and time commitment required for a large infrastructure

project.
