The National Park Service's (NPS) Gateway National Recreation Area (GATE) was created to provide convenient access to outdoor recreation in the National Park System for millions of residents and visitors to the New York City (NYC) area, the most populous metropolitan area in the nation. Population density and the lack of available space for parking have contributed to the lowest ratio of car ownership in the nation for NYC residents, while simultaneously encouraging the most extensive network of public transit in the United States.

"This study addresses two critical issues of concern to the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreational Area: (1) options for alternative access to Sandy Hook during peak summer season, particularly when the park is closed to private vehicles when parking facilities are full; and (2) options for a replacement vehicle for the intra-park shuttle that carries passengers disembarking from the ferry to the beaches."--Technical report documentation page.
