The purpose of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) Alternative Transportation Study is to explore potential alternative transportation options that can address a variety of transportation safety and access issues. MNWR consists of a visitor contact station, refuge headquarters and trails on Morris Island (connected to the mainland by a causeway), South Monomoy (connected to the mainland) and the North Monomoy Island (accessible only by boat). The MNWR visitor contact station is open daily during the summer months and intermittently during the offseason. Two private ferry services operate 25-passenger boats and are permitted to bring visitors to the Monomoy. Visitors to Morris Island and ferry passengers use the limited parking lot at the MNWR headquarters/visitor contact station.
