1 Signature Project 3: Sustainable Transportation for Tourism Principal Investigators: Robert Manning Lisa Chase Postdoctoral Associate: Laura Anderson Graduate Research Assistants: Peter Pettingill Nathan Reigner Cristina Mastrangelo Research Staff: David Kestenbaum Relationship Between Transportation and Outdoor Recreation/Tourism Travel to, through, and from recreation areas Transportation as recreation Our transportation-recreation scale Purely transportation About half transportation and half recreation Purely recreation
2 Goal: Guide planning and management of transportation to serve the needs of sustainable recreation/tourism Objectives: 1. Develop indicators and standards of quality for transportation in the context of recreation/tourism 2. Incorporate indicators and standards of quality into an expanded Levels of Service (LOS) framework used in conventional transportation management 3. Apply this work to a spectrum of transportation modes and contexts Indicators and Standards of Quality Contemporary park and outdoor recreation management frameworks Steps: 1. Formulate management objectives and associated indicators and standards of quality 2. Monitor indicator variables 3. Apply management practices to ensure that standards of quality are maintained
3 Indicators and Standards of Quality Example: Wilderness Hiking Management objective: provide opportunities for solitude Indicator of quality: number of groups of hikers seen per day Standard of quality: maximum of 10 groups per day Standards of Quality: Hypothetical Social Norm Curve
4 Levels of Service (LOS) Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board) Levels of service A through F Conventional focus on efficiency and safety Needs extension to include experiential considerations Levels of Service/Highway Capacity Manual Example: Levels of Service for a Class 2 Highway Percent Time Following LOS A = Less than 40 Percent LOS B = 40 to less than 55 Percent LOS C = 55 to less than 70 Percent LOS D = 70 to less than 85 Percent LOS E = 85 Percent LOS F = When flow rate exceeds capacity
5 Indicators and Standards of Quality/ LOS Framework Overlay LOS A LOS B LOS C LOS D LOS E Acceptability Vehicles-Per-Viewscape Multiple Modes of Transportation Roads Greenways Public transit
6 Multiple Recreation/Tourism Contexts Roads (Park Urban) Acadia National Park Loop Road Vermont Route 100 Interstate 89 Greenways (Park Urban) Acadia National Park Carriage Roads Stowe Recreation Path Burlington Bike Path Public transit (Park Urban) Acadia National Park Island Explorer Muir Woods Shuttle Bus Alcatraz Island Ferry Visitor Surveys Survey questionnaires Indicators of quality (open and close-ended questions) Standards of quality Density of use Landscape character Commercial services Speed Frequency of service Transportation-recreation scale Background information on use and user characteristics
