Federal Lands Alternative Transportation Systems Study: Summary of National ATS Needs
The goal of the study is to identify opportunities for application of Alternative Transportation Systems (ATS), or transit, to relieve traffic congestion and parking shortages; enhance visitor mobility and accessibility; preserve sensitive natural, cultural, and historic resources; provide improved interpretation, education and visitor information services; reduce pollution; and improve economic development opportunities for surrounding communities. A key study objective was to quantify the extent and costs of transit needs as a basis for a potential future Federal lands ATS funding program.
