The tourism and hospitality industry serving these visitors accounts for close to 20 percent of the total workforce in metropolitan Washington.1 Tourism, therefore, is a vital force in the local economy and tour buses, which have been estimated to serve as many as one-third of the visitors to Washington’s historical and cultural attractions, perform a function crucial to both the economic life of the city and its role as the nation’s capital.2 The benefits related to tour bus operations currently come at a significant cost, however. Large numbers of tour buses contribute to traffic congestion on the roadways serving the District and its environs. Several factors compound the adverse traffic impacts associated with tour bus operations.

  • Section 6: Transit System BATS
    Section 6: Transit System BATS Section 6: Transit System Section 6.1 Current Regulations The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century, or TEA-21, emphasizes the importance of transit to local communities by providing flexibility in the financing of transit services. Urbanized areas may divert funds from roadway improvements in order to allocate additional funding to transit. Section 6.2 Available Funding The Section 5310 Program that is administered by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, or GDHR, makes federal funding available to social service providers for rural transit. Funding from this program is used to assist two non-profit transit providers serving Southeast Georgia, including Glynn County. The providers include Gateway Behavioral Health Services and Coastal Georgia Area Community Action Authority. These non-profit transit providers offer varying levels of service to the elderly and the mentally and physically disabled. Existing transit services are limited because they do not serve the transit dependent who are low income, under the age of 16, and visitors to Glynn County. Transit funding is also available through the Federal Transit Administration, or FTA, through Section 5303 funds designated for transit planning activities, Section 5307 funds for urban transit programs, Section 5309 funds for capital needs, and Section 5311 funds for rural public transit. The Brunswick Area Transportation Study, or BATS, continues to assess the need for and the costs of implementing transit service in the urbanized area of Glynn County including the City of Brunswick and St. Simons Island. Section 6.3 Existing Transportation Services Within Glynn County, mass transit is not available.

McLeod Dear Clansfolk, he spring is finally here for us Canadians and we are all busy withT our projects. My wife, Christine and I have just planted another 600 grape plants at my parents’ vineyard in Naramata, BC, which we have taken over. We are in the process of replanting barley on the hayfield and we will be preparing for the Merritt Mountain Music Festival again for the 17th year. Most of all we look forward to family reunions. We hope to see as many MacLeods as possible in St. Louis in June 2009 and we will try to see as many friends and family as we drive back from our destination in New York, where one of our twin boys is in 3rd year medical school. Preparing for the Olympics in Vancouver for February 2010 we be another venture for most of us here in BC. Christine and I have just returned from Victoria where we attended the Victoria Highland Games with our daughter, Skye. We love wandering through the various tents and reacquainting with the past highland danc- ing and piping days. The MacLeod Clan tent was organized by Malcolm and Karen from Vancouver Island and was a hotspot of activity as people streamed by to talk. Malcolm’s parents are a fixture and Judy Tipple is always snapping pictures round-and-about the games. Wine, music and piping made the day perfect and sunscreen kept the evening cool and exciting.
