This project involves the development of short- and long-range plans for alternative transportation to, from, and within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO). The five-year plan notes that improved public transportation services are needed both to mitigate seasonal traffic congestion and to meet the mobility needs of the year-round transit-dependent population.

The recommendations to the Cape Cod National Seashore from this short-run plan are to:

• Provide transportation choices to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding year-round population
• Facilitate connections between various travel modes
• Supply alternative services between Cape Cod and other regions, including the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
• Ensure that any infrastructure investments are in keeping with the character of Cape Cod and the Islands and are supported by a majority of the public
• Meet Health and Human Services mobility needs for access to employment, health care, social services, family support tasks, and education
