No full textHW1MA1DTFH-61-08-V00015Working in coordination with the NPS regions and the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, the Alternative transportation program (ATP) developed a definition of National Park Service (NPS) transit systems to ensure consistent data collection across the nation and over time. Only units with systems that met these three criteria were considered for the inventory:1. Moves people by motorized vehicle on a regularly scheduled service;2. Operates under one of the following business models: concessions contract; service contract; partner agreement including memorandum of understanding, memorandum of agreement, or cooperative agreement; or NPS owned and operated; and3. All routes and services at a given unit that are operated under the same business model by the same operator are considered a single NPS transit system

Alternative funding opportunities for National Park Service Transit
No full textVU13/MJ661The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act and other anticipated financial changes are expected to reduce funding for National Park Service (NPS) transit systems. This paper discusses opportunities that may exist for NPS to work with the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration to obtain funding for transit systems through programs that have not been traditional sources for NPS.

National Park Service Alternative Transportation Program
No full textAmerica\u2019s national parks are among the most popular tourist destinations in the country, with more than 424 million visits in 2001 alone. But this very popularity, along with the fact that most visitors arrive by private passenger car, has led to a variety of transportation-related challenges: congestion, overflow parking, air and noise pollution, hazardous conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists, and damage to natural and cultural resources. In an effort to reduce the impact of vehicles and better manage the flow of visitors to and throughout a park, many park units are trying alternative transportation solutions, such as transit systems. To plan and implement effective alternative transportation systems (ATS), parks have found it helpful to work in partnership with a range of stakeholders, including park staff and visitors, gateway community residents, area businesses, municipal governments, regional and state planning agencies, and more. This report summarizes the techniques of and lessons learned by some of the National Parks that have been particularly successful in forming partnerships to support planning and implementation of ATS
