  • Abstract:
    Increasingly, national parks are purchasing and operating buses and other alternative

    transportation vehicles to transport visitors to and from or within park boundaries.

    Selecting alternative transportation vehicles is a complex, multi-faceted process that

    involves the careful analysis of numerous factors. This material in this report originally

    was developed as a primer to orient park superintendents and transportation managers

    who participated in an Alternative Transportation Vehicle Workshop held March, 2002 in

    Estes Park, CO. It provides useful information and supplements Volume 1 (Candidate

    Vehicle Technologies) of the Federal Lands Alternative Transportation Systems Study.1

    This updated version contains the essentially the same material provided to the workshop

    participants.

    This primer addresses fundamental considerations for evaluating and choosing buses,

    including: vehicle technologies, vehicle types, fuels, infrastructure and associated costs.

    These should not be viewed as independent topics, but as parts of a system in which each

    part may be affected by, and may affect, the other parts. Alternative transportation

    systems will be unique based on the differences and the particular needs of individual

    parks. Therefore, rather than provide extensive details about specific parks, the sections

    herein outline basic system considerations that should be investigated further in relation

    to the specific conditions at a given park.
