Park Seeks Public Input on Proposed Shuttle Bus Fee
Park staff is seeking public comment on a proposed fee increase to the shuttle bus operation at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. The shuttle bus operates on weekends and takes visitors to the top of the mountain. This service enhances the visitor’s safety and park experience by allowing them to walk or run up the mountain road without the volume of constant vehicular traffic. At this time, the park is proposing a fee increase from $2/adult to $3/adult and from $1/child to $1.50/children ages 6-11, children under the age of 6 would continue to ride for free.
