Yellowstone park is planning a multi year visitor study in conjunction with a pre-planning process focused on understanding and managing rapidly increasing summer season visitation.
In 2017, the National Park Service intends to: a) solicit ideas for and understand possible partners to complete this study, b) develop a scope of work and bid a contract for the first phase of this study, and c) obligate funds to complete the first phase of this study involving project design and submission of an OMB package. The subsequent work involved in this study will be completed in 2018-19 under next phases of the contract.
