Even a church can do transportation demand management planning

From "Beach Town Churches Brace for Unpredictable Summer Attendance," in today's Washington Post:

While catering to often larger congregations during the summer, pastors must also ensure they are not neglecting their core members. Each summer, Holy Savior Roman Catholic Church, located just blocks from the boardwalk, adds a Saturday evening service at a Methodist church in Berlin so that residents do not have to battle beach traffic.

"It's a 10-minute trip, but sometimes it takes me an hour and a half. It's much easier for me to go over there than for all of those people to come here," said Father John Klevence, who has worked at Holy Savior 12 years. "Ocean City is a small town, ultimately, and there is a good spirit of cooperation here. There has to be."
