More Buses. More Bikes. Less Traffic

November 29, 2018

 The Town of Tusayan is working with the Chamber of Commerce, the Parks Service, and the Forest Service to find ways to reduce traffic and prevent traffic jams associated with tourists. It’s reviewing the Tusayan Multimodal Action Plan.

The recommendations include:

INFRASTRUCTURE, SAFETY, AND OPERATIONS

Provide a safe, attractive, and convenient shuttle service from Tusayan to the South Rim that makes a compelling case for visitors to leave their vehicle behind.

PROMOTION AND VISITOR SERVICES

Use programs such as the Tusayan Ambassadors to reach visitors at every phase of their journey-from months before their trip to their arrival in Tusayan-to improve their understanding of travel options and help them make the most of their visit.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE ON TWO WHEELS

Provide services and information that make bicycling a viable and enjoyable way to visit Grand Canyon National Park by further integrating Tusayan with the South Rim's Greenway and bicycle transportation system.

The report however does not have specifics on costs which prompted the Town Council to table approval of the plan.
