Transportation planning for recreational areas needs to take into consideration a wide range of impacts, thus the need for a systems approach toward planning. A systems approach anticipates externalities and trade‐offs among desired goals and prepares stakeholders to understand the trade‐offs necessary for achieving the best transportation strategy for the community. This chapter describes the unique characteristics of transportation planning for recreational communities, with primary focus on large parks or recreational areas. It presents characteristics of recreation travel and of the transportation systems that visitors use. The chapter discusses the transportation‐related characteristics of the visitors themselves, and how these characteristics lead to transportation system needs. It presents the transportation planning process for recreational areas organized by the major planning steps. The chapter explains importance of communication with both recreational visitors and with surrounding communities, and the discusses some of the future challenges facing transportation planning for recreational areas.
