Abstract

Within the context of the National Park System (NPS), a visitor transportation system (VTS) is defined as public transportation that is typically managed by the park and is generally required to access the park's resources. Currently, 50 parks have VTSs, and new systems are being implemented in places such as Zion, Acadia, and Grand Canyon National Parks. This paper reports on a survey of the 63 VTSs in the NPS. This survey asked respondents to rate the development and degree for the various roles for a given park's VTS. The survey results are presented and discussed.
