• Description:
  This report summarizes the Phase II planning effort conducted by the park and the US Department of Transportation's Volpe Center (the Volpe Center) to articulate a viable park-community pilot transit service for Morristown National Historical Park. Morristown National Historical Park consists of four separate units that played important roles during the Revolutionary War-Washington’s Headquarters, Fort Nonsense, Jockey Hollow Encampment Area, and New Jersey Brigade Encampment. The combination of one-way roads, heavy traffic, and complicated intersections makes travel between the four units difficult, confusing, and even dangerous for out-of-town visitors. In coordination with the park, the Volpe Center designed and facilitated a park-community planning charrette where park staff and stakeholders within the community discussed and proposed alternative pilot shuttle service routes. These routes were then analyzed and evaluated, and a recommended pilot transit service route was articulated. The report concludes with "next steps" for advancing the recommended pilot transit service to implementation.
