Gibraltar has a limited public transport system, due to the compact size of the territory. Gibraltar has 49.9 kilometres of highways. It has one of the highest levels of per capita car ownership in the world, with as many motor vehicles as people. Unlike the United Kingdom, along with the British Overseas Territories, traffic in Gibraltar drives on the right, as it shares a land border with Spain. Traffic drove on the left. Older roads in Gibraltar in the city centre, are narrow with a typical speed limit of 50 km/h. Gibraltar has ten fuelling stations, fuel prices are lower than in neighbouring Spain; some people from Spain enter Gibraltar for the sole purpose of filling their cars' fuel tanks. Gibraltar's international vehicle registration is GBZ, Gibraltar car number plates consist of the letter'G' followed by up to five digits or four digits and a single letter; these are as standard, the same shape, type face and colours as those in the UK, however non-standard number plates have been permitted.
The Chief Minister's official car has the registration number G1, while the Governor's car, following tradition, has a crown, in place of a number. The two highways in Spain leading in the vicinity are the A-383 which ends in La Linea, the CA-34, which leads to the border. There are a total of 8 different bus routes in Gibraltar. There are two companies who provide stage-carriage bus services in Gibraltar: Gibraltar Bus Company Limited and Calypso Transport Limited; the Gibraltar Bus Company is 100% owned by the Government of Gibraltar and operates all but one of the services. Calypso Transport operates the other, linking the city centre with the airport and the Frontier with Spain; the Gibraltar Bus Company operates Services 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 & 9 with its distinct fleet of modern, blue buses. The company has a total of 21 vehicles in its bus fleet, 18 of which are the Dennis Dart low-floor midibus with Caetano Nimbus bodies and featuring 28 seats and 3 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses with Unvi bodies and catering for 15 seated passengers.
The Darts entered service the day the company was formed, Saturday 10 April 2004, when it took over the operation of private company Rock City Services Limited, unwilling to invest in its fleet. The trio of Sprinters entered service during November 2010 and operate Service 1 to the Moorish Castle Estate in the Upper Town area of the city; this route is well worth travelling in order to see how narrow and winding the roads are in this part of town. The latest timetable is dated 1 September 2012. Calypso Transport Ltd operates Service 5 between the Frontier, the airport and the city centre and tickets between this route and those operated by the Gibraltar Bus Company are not inter-changeable. An adult single fare on either operators' services costs £1.00 and an all-day Hoppa ticket costs £1.50. A year-long trial period where free travel was permitted aboard the buses of the Gibraltar Bus Company ended in May 2012 and only qualifying residents and military personnel now qualify for free travel in the province.
Calypso Transport Ltd uses a fleet of red double-decker buses. Route 5 buses operate every 15 minutes Monday to Saturdays, every 20 minutes on Sundays, this is a shuttle between Reclamation Road near John Macintosh Square and the Frontier/Airport terminus via the Market Place bus station Grand Casemates Square. Gibraltar Bus Company increased the bus fares for all routes in Gibraltar in May 2013. Taxicabs are available from a number of taxi ranks around the Rock. Many taxis cater for tours of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and these can be picked up from the frontier or the city centre, taxi drivers are obliged to take standard fares as well as tours. There are no extant railways in Gibraltar. There was an extensive railway within the Gibraltar Dockyard, neighbouring works and storage facilities, it included tunnels, one of which went through the Rock of Gibraltar, is still in use today as a road tunnel. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there was a temporary industrial railway in Gibraltar.
At the period when both railways were operational, it was possible to travel right round the entire coastline of Gibraltar by train. The dockyard railway had a roster of 17 locomotives, distinguished by numbers, but four of which carried names: Gibraltar, Catalan and Calpe. Whilst railway track extends to the outskirts of La Linea from the aborted San Roque-La Línea railway line expansion project in the 1970s, the nearest actual railway station is "San Roque - La Línea" station on the ADIF Algeciras-Bobadilla railway line Junction via Ronda; until 1969 a ferry from Gibraltar provided convenient access to Algeciras station, which along with the railway line to Ronda was built by a British company known as the Algeciras Gibraltar Railway Company. Ferries by FRS running twice a week from Gibraltar to Tanger-Med port provide access to the Moroccan railway system. Being a peninsula, the sea has long been vital to Gibraltar's transport links; the Royal Navy Dockyard was Gibraltar's major employer.
There is still a harbour on the west side of the territory. The Gibraltar-registered merchant marine consists above. There is an irregular direct regular fast ferry service to Tanger-Med port, Morocco but many passengers now travel from Algeciras or Tarifa due to a more regular service being present at those ports; the ferry between Gibraltar and Algeciras, which existed until 1969, when communications with Spain were severed by the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, was reopened on 16 Dec
The Swaner EcoCenter is a nature preserve and Utah State University Distance Education site located in Snyderville Basin near Park City, Utah. Swaner encompasses a 1,200-acre wildlife refuge, a 10,000-square-foot state of the art environmental education facility, a 100-acre farm, 10 miles of trails; the EcoCenter works to preserve the land and the human connection to the natural landscape, to educate the local and broader communities about the value of nature, to nurture both the ecosystem and the people connected with it. The EcoCenter was designed by architect Soren Simonsen to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum certification, the highest standard set by the U. S. Green Building Council; the preserve began as a donation of 190 acres of land in 1993 by the Spring Creek Angus Ranch Partnership in memory of Leland Swaner. Over the next decade several parcels of land would be added, growing the preserve to more than 1,000 acres. In 2003, Swaner purchased what is now known as the Swaner Farm.
In 1933, the iconic white barn was built by the Fletcher family who purchased the farm in 1906 and operated it for more than 35 years. The Fletcher's sold the entire farm to the Wallin family who owned the land until 2003 when it was acquired by Swaner. In January 2010, Utah State University President Stan Albrecht and the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter Board of Directors announced that the refuge and center would be transferred to USU; the gift totaled in excess of $30 million. Just one year in January 2011, classes began at the center through USU Distance Education. List of nature centers in the United States Swaner EcoCenter Website Utah State University Website

Middlebush Reformed Church known as "the church with the red doors", is located at 1 South Middlebush Road at the corner of Amwell Road in Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. It is the fourth oldest church in Franklin Township, it was organized in 1834, the New York Times noted their first church was built in Colonial times and was one of the landmarks of the region. The church is a contributing property of the Middlebush Village Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 2007; the church is a part of the Reformed Church in America. It was organized by Dutch settlers on March 19, 1834 in the Colonial Farms area of what is now Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey; the initial three member committee included the first Reverend of the church Jacob Schultz. The settlers had "migrated from Manhattan Island seeking more tillable land". Residents were traveling to Reformed churches in Hillsborough, New Jersey; the few Dutch families met in a barn "in what is now O'Connor's Beef'N Chowder House on Amwell Road" owned by the Voorhees family.
One descendant, Mary Amanda Voorhees, "Miss Amanda" served as the church's organist for forty-five years. "ervices continued there until 1835, when the white frame church was completed". Three locations for the church building were considered: one on Amwell Road north of the current location, one on South Middlebush Road south of the railroad tracks, the current location on the corner of South Middlebush Road and Amwell Avenue. One acre of land was given for the church lot and about five more acres continuing along South Middlebush Road were purchased by the church; the acreage was divided into smaller lots and sold off in 1839. The cornerstone of the church building was laid on June 7, 1834. During construction, the search for a pastor began. Jacob I. Schultz, the pastor at Whitehouse Station, New Jersey and Lebanon, New Jersey was contacted; the new church building was dedicated on February 19, 1835. The final cost was $3,989. Schultz was formally installed as pastor on December 30, 1835. Lightning destroyed the church building on July 2, 1917, the New York Times noted part of the furniture was saved and the loss was estimated at $50,000.
Congregation members who lived nearby rescued the church membership book. A kerosene lamp was saved, is hanging in the church. Planning for the new building at the same site started but construction was delayed by World War I; the Gothic revival building was rebuilt using stone from New Jersey quarry. The church was rededicated in 1919. In 1972 the church set up a "mini" school. In 2003 the church started a living nativity which includes four readings from the Bible and ends with the adoration of the magi; the annual Christmastime event includes "costumed characters, live animals and carollers". The church celebrated their 175th anniversary in 2009, they buried and sealed a time capsule to be opened at the congregation's 200th anniversary in 2034, 25 years later.
