The Transportation Plan proposes actions to provide for safe and enjoyable travel in the area of Glacier National Park that includes Going-to-the-Sun Road and related attractions. The plan is needed to correct road deficiencies, reduce safety hazards, and solve traffic and transportation problems in this area and to identify the most feasible public transit system for future use. Cultural resource preservation laws and procedures were a major consideration in planning. Going-to-the-Sun Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a significant cultural resource.

This guide was written as a quick primer for transportation professionals and analysts who assess the impacts of proposed transportation actions on communities. It outlines the community impact assessment process, highlights critical areas that must be examined, identifies basic tools and information sources, and stimulates the thought-process related to individual projects. In the past, the consequences of transportation investments on communities have often been ignored or introduced near the end of a planning process, reducing them to reactive considerations at best. The goals of this primer are to increase awareness of the effects of transportation actions on the human environment and emphasize that community impacts deserve serious attention in project planning and development-attention comparable to that given the natural environment. Finally, this guide is intended to provide some tips for facilitating public involvement in the decision making process.
