Chincoteague NWR Alternative Transportation Study

 
Alternative Transportation Planning

Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore are working with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center to begin an alternative transportation study. The study, which is estimated to take about one year to complete, aims to objectively analyze different ways to address transportation problems -- including beach access, traffic, and parking. The research study will be informed by ideas and comments from the public, as well as analysis of data and information about traffic, transportation, and other factors. This website will provide information about the study’s schedule, compiled documents and data, and any updates throughout the study’s duration.

Documents with information from the public meetings held on October 16th, 2008 and January 17, 2009 are now available under Project Documents.
