Specifications: Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic SitesROVA Alternate Transit SystemScope of Work - 2010-2011 Field Test: Monitoring, Evaluation, and Planning IntroductionRoosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites (ROVA) is an administrative entity formedby the National Park Service (NPS) to manage three separately established nationalhistoric sites: Home of FDR NHS (HOFR), including FDR's retreat, Top Cottage; EleanorRoosevelt NHS (ELRO); and Vanderbilt Mansion NHS (VAMA). Together, the sitesembrace over 1,000 acres of federally owned land along the east bank of the HudsonRiver in Hyde Park, New York. The transportation problems and opportunities for an alternate transit system (ATS) at ROVA have been defined in numerous documents, including the management plans for the sites and two studies completed by the Volpe National Transportation and Systems Center. The heavy dependence on auto access by visitors has unfortunate implications for the visitor experience, as well as the cultural landscapes associated with these national treasures. A principle recommendation of the Volpe Center is to execute a multiyear field test of an ATS before NPS makes investments in permanent infrastructure. ROVA started the field test or pilot service in FY08 and will continue the field test in FY10 and possibly beyond.
