As with many rural areas and small communities, Park County, Wyoming is looking for opportunities to address mobility needs in the county that can also encourage economic development. The intersection of these ideas resulted in discussion among Park County and the leading economic development organizations— Powell Economic Partnership, Inc. and Forward Cody, Inc., about the relationship between increased transportation (mobility) options and economic and community development. To further understand the opportunities, Park County commissioned this study to better comprehend the overall necessity, feasibility, and desirability of a public transportation system in Park County. As the project progressed the scope of the project expanded with a desire to evaluate transportation (modal) options other than public transportation (transit). Three main tasks were associated with the feasibility study: (1) Conduct a literature/data review and analysis; (2) Engage Park County residents through a public survey, mobility survey, and stakeholder interviews; (3) Identify additional transportation alternatives and potential funding strategies to provide improved transportation options. |
