Shenandoah National Park - Alternative Transportation Study

Shenandoah National Park (SNP) in Virginia is among the most visited parks in the National Park Service system. This study addresses several transportation issues at SNP, including: reassessing traveler information services that are available to park visitors; assessing potential improvements to enhance accessibility to Skyline Drive scenic overlooks; identifying and reviewing available transportation data that can be used for future park planning; options for replacement of a tour vehicle for the Rapidan Camp area of the park; and providing an overview of the socioeconomic conditions and trends in the Shenandoah Valley region that may potentially influence current and future park visitation.
