Seasonal Congestion Management Strategy in Newport, Rhode Island

摘要

Newport, Rhode Island is known as America's First Resort. In this pre-Colonial city of 30,000 year-round residents, the population on summer weekends can swell to 100,000, largely due to visitors who take day trips to the city. The seasonal surge places incredible pressure on the aging infrastructure of Newport, particularly upon streets and parking facilities, that were not designed to handle current levels of use.
