- Role: subject
- In the article: The article describes Zion’s shuttle system, launched in 2000 for 2.4 million annual visitors (now five million), which went all-electric with a fleet of 30 buses in 2024. Before shuttles, cars parked along the road, denuding vegetation and driving animals away; transportation manager Lisa White recalls fistfights over parking spaces. Shuttles immediately relieved congestion.
- Why it matters: Zion is the subject: a case study in managing overcrowding in a national park with electric transit.
