Salem Maritime National Historic Site (SAMA) is set within a dense urban environment in a city that offers many historic and cultural attractions. The historic site consists of an orientation center, several 16th and 17th century homes and structures, three wharves, and a replica tallship. Key transportation challenges for SAMA, identified in a previous report of existing conditions, are to provide access between existing sites, provide water-based access consistent with the park's management goals, and provide traveler information to visitors. Based upon site visits, research, and meetings and interviews with SAMA staff and public and private sector stakeholders, the report of existing conditions resulted in the identification of the following transportation needs: Visitor transportation survey; Pedestrian circulation plan; Pilot ferry shuttle service to Baker's Island; Salem Sound water transportation study; Traveler information improvements; and Employee and equipment parking improvements. Addressing these transportation needs will guide SAMA's transportation planning process in the near future and also in the long term as it embarks on its planning process for revising its General Management Plan (GMP).
