Reduced Visitation
• Will reduce visitation by approximately 10% from 2012 level when implemented
Reduced Daily # of Vehicles
• 25-35% reduction during peak season
Reduced Hourly # of Vehicles
• 50-60% reduction in MW-bound trips during peak-season
Reduced # of Vehicles Parked on Road Shoulder
• Greater than 70% reduction during peak season, with better management and reduced environmental impacts
Summary – Reduced Visitation, Traffic, & Impacts

• 10,000 Trips in 2008: 75,000 in 2013 Muir Woods Shuttle
• “Muir Woods Parking Full, Use Shuttle” Four Changeable Message Signs
• Shoulder parking prohibited in areas unsafe and damaging to resources “No-Parking” Signs
• Increased parking managers along the road and at Muir Woods lots Management
• Limited staff resources; jurisdiction issues. Tickets ineffective for one-time visitors Enforcement
• Website, articles, phone inquiries… convey congestion issues and alternatives Messaging

• 2014 – 35 Days in a row above
max target of 4,000+ visitors
• 2014 – All peak-season weekends above 5,000
• 2016 – first year with 6,500+ visitor day
Status Quo = Continued Increase
in Visitation
Background – Where We Are Now

General Management Plan
• User Capacity, Chapter 7 – Indicators and Standards to manage visitors in the park
• People per view… • Encounters along
trails… • Arrival time… • Quiet… • Confluence at
3,500-4,000 MAX
Performance Monitoring Program
• Monitor GMP performance metrics over time
• Correlates with transportation capacity
• Out-of-standard triggers management action
Parking & Shuttle Reservation System
• Manage key modes of transportation to achieve GMP goals
• Use data from Performance Monitoring Program to adjust transportation capacity
