MRP Transportation Workshop

While modes of transportation have changed in the last 150 years, it can still be a challenge to get around in Yosemite.

The purpose of this workshop is to gain a common understanding of transportation issues and constraints and how these may affect river values. The Merced River Plan will identify opportunities for different types of transportation options that provide visitor access while offering a quality experience and protecting river values. The workshop will provide the public with the opportunity to participate in discussions about the various transportation and related access options that may be considered in the plan and how these may affect river values and their experiences.

The workshop will showcase research, modeling and other information related to transportation considerations that will inform the development of the Merced River Plan.
