• Description:
  The National Park Service (NPS) currently has 108 alternative transportation systems (ATS) at more than 90 park units, ranging from shuttle buses to ferries. The purpose of this study is to examine the economic impacts, both positive and negative, that existing NPS ATS have had on gateway communities. The findings from this study will be used to inform the early planning discussions with gateway communities regarding the potential implementation of ATS in National Parks, and the potential economic impacts that these ATS may have upon gateway communities.
