Decision Support System

By answering the following questions, this software will help you determine what transportation-related issues your Federal land is experiencing, as well as the potential solutions to these challenges. You can answer the questions without specific data. For example, if you are asked if your Federal land has congestion at the entrance gate, you can answer based on your best judgment and not by referring to specific data.

This process will lead you to potential solutions (presented as “Fact Sheets”) for each transportation challenge you have indicated by your answers. The Fact Sheets are categorized in four areas: Infrastructure (the built environment), Intelligent Transportation Systems (“ITS” or electronic solutions), Policy (the management of assets and systems), and Transit (alternative transportation modes).

Be sure to answer all questions on each page. Based on your responses to each series of inquiries, more detailed questions may be asked to determine where (e.g. en-route, gateway communities, etc.) or why a particular transportation challenge may be occurring, and what limits there may be on potential solutions.

Some questions may appear at first glance to be redundant. However, by answering all questions, you will ensure that all applicable potential solutions are listed. Once your customized list of potential solutions has been created, you will then need to compare and evaluate the solutions. You can begin this process by reading the information presented within the Fact Sheets, and by using additional resources, some of which are listed in the Resources Section of the Toolkit. 

Keep in mind the Toolkit is the beginning of a process that will ultimately need further investigation of transportation professionals, such as individuals with the Federal Highway Administration, or the National Park Service.  This process should take no more than 20 minutes.
