Date	Start Time	End Time	Time Zone	Location

The public is invited to attend an Open House to identify issues and provide information to the National Park Service that should be considered in development of the Multimodal Transportation Plan.

Project representatives will provide a brief presentation at 5:30 p.m. to explain the need for the Plan and how other parks in the National Park system are using innovative transportation solutions to manage increased visitation.
 
Description:

The National Park Service is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for a Multimodal Transportation Plan (Plan). This project will enable the park to plan for current and current traffic solutions in an integrated context.

Through the course of the planning process, the project team will identify transportation-related issues, gather input from park users and the surrounding communities, and recommend solutions to transportation management within the park. The first step is to gain a clear understanding of existing concerns and issues that should be considered in developing appropriate solutions (the second step). From a set of proposed solutions, park management can determine where, when and how to make strategic transportation investments.

Description:
Dear Friend of Bryce Canyon National Park:

The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for a Multimodal Transportation Plan at Bryce Canyon National Park. This project will enable the park to test, implement and refine current and future transportation solutions in an integrated, flexible context over the next 20 years. With your input, we hope to finalize and start implementing the transportation plan this summer!

The desired outcomes of the final transportation plan include:

• Reducing traffic congestion and parking shortages
• Increasing safety and improving visitors' experiences
• Eliminating or minimizing resource conflicts
• Improving connectivity for all modes of transportation, including public transportation, private vehicles, tour buses, pedestrians and bicycles

The public is invited to attend an open house to review the alternatives considered and provide feedback about the agency's preferred alternative.

UPDATE: An open comment period will begin on Wednesday, February 19 and continue for 30 days. Those wishing to provide comments should submit them in writing as soon as possible. Comments can be submitted online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/brca or sent to brca_information@nps.gov, or to P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, UT 84764. Respondents should include their name, address and email to be added to the mailing list for more information about this project. Remember that unless requested otherwise, a list of all those that comment during public review periods, including their addresses, is available upon request.
