摘要: Increasingly the National Park Service (NPS) is using Alternative Transportation Systems (ATS) to accommodate escalating visitation. Understanding factors that influence visitors’ transportation-related decision making essential developing effective management strategies will not only decrease reliance on personal vehicles but also encourage shuttle ridership and improve visitor experiences. Survey research, conducted in Yosemite (2007) Rocky Mountain (2008) examined perspectives toward ATS experience. Three important factors: ease, freedom stress, were identified by analyzing data from each park both exploratory confirmatory factor analyses. The similarity results between studies indicate related services, including infrastructure messaging themes, could be standardized at Mountain, used inform procedures other NPS units.
