Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NPS, as part of their General Management Plan (GMP) realignment, worked with Volpe to develop a series of alternative transportation methods in Valley Forge National Historical Park. Automobiles are the predominant means of transportation in the park, posing a threat to the preservation of park resources and pristine quality. Suggested alternatives to automobile transport include shuttle buses and similar efforts that reduce the need for automobile travel within the park. Beyond relieving congestion, alternative modes of transportation allow the visitor more options in terms of guided tours. This report presents an overview of the current transportation system at Valley Forge. Alternative solutions and an analysis of the impacts on ridership are presented. A cost analysis is done with regards to implementing the shuttle bus. Finally, an implementation strategy is set forth.

Book Our National Parks and the Search for Sustainability

Download or read book Our National Parks and the Search for Sustainability written by Bob R. O'Brien and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the US National Park Service’s efforts to allow for as many visitors as possible in the parks that are kept in as natural a state as possible. “Yosemite Valley in July of 1967 would have had to be seen to be believed. There was never an empty campsite in the valley; you had to create a space for yourself in a sea of cars, tents, and humanity. . . . The camp next to ours had fifty people in it, with rugs hung between the trees, incense burning, and a stereo set going full volume.” Scenes such as this will probably never be repeated in Yosemite or any other national park, yet the urgent problem remains of balancing the public's desire to visit the parks with the parks’ need to be protected from too many people and cars and too much development. In this book, longtime park visitor and professional geographer Bob O’Brien explores the National Park Service’s attempt to achieve “sustainability,” a balance that allows as many people as possible to visit a park that is kept in as natural a state as possible. O’Brien details methods the NPS has used to walk the line between those who would preserve vast tracts of land for “no use” and those who would tap the Yellowstone geysers to generate electricity. His case studies of six western “crown jewel” parks show how rangers and other NPS employees are coping with issues that impact these cherished public landscapes, including visitation, development, and recreational use./
