• Abstract:
  This paper was written to provide basic information in advance of the “National Workshop to
  
  Develop an Intelligent Transportation Systems Program Strategy for the National Park
  
  Service,” June 19-20, 2001, to be held at the Central Federal Lands Highway Division Office
  
  in Lakewood, Colorado. In the spirit of promoting robust workshop discussion, the paper
  
  seeks to:
  
  1) Acquaint National Park Service (NPS) staff with Intelligent Transportation Systems
  
  (ITS) and ITS applications, and
  
  2) Acquaint transportation community participants with NPS transportation-related
  
  issues and concerns that might be amenable to ITS solutions.
  
  The paper introduces NPS transportation issues and concerns; provides a brief overview of
  
  relevant ITS technologies and applications; discusses the state of ITS within national parks;
  
  identifies the potential benefits of ITS technologies; and lays the groundwork for discussion
  
  regarding ITS strategies for the NPS by posing several questions to be addressed during the
  
  workshop.
