Sarbanes Transit n the Parks Program] -- jointly administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) -- conducted a number of site-specific Transportation Assistance Group (TAG) activities, aimed at providing recommendations to Federal land management agency (FLMA) staff on addressing transportation needs. These TAGs, coordinated by the U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe Center, were based on a series of successful activities, also known as TAGs, begun several years ago by the National Park Service (NPS) as part of its Alternative Transportation Program. ... To date, ten TAGs have been conducted under the ATPPL program, as summarized in this document. Unit staff made logistical preparations for and actively participated in all phases of the TAGs, including reviewing final projects for each TAG and implementing the recommendations contained within the reports. Some TAGs have led to successful ATPPL project proposals; others suggested ways that units could address their transportation needs without the need for ATPPL funding."--(p. 1).
