The purpose of this study is to evaluate the existing transportation system and infrastructure to understand current conditions and use and to develop a plan of near- and long-term projects to improve access to, and mobility within, the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge. The study arises from the need to determine the best means to accommodate the growing amount and changing type of visitation and to improve the trails, roads and travel-ways in the refuge that are in disrepair at the Refuge. The study will also aim to address the refuge lands that are isolated from the surrounding communities.
