The Great Falls Circulation Study is a plan to improve circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers in the vicinity of the Great Falls National Historical Park in Paterson, New Jersey. The study is being sponsored by Passaic County and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority.

The Circulation Study will identify improvement scenarios to address deficiencies that hamper access to recreation areas and public open space, and seeks a balance among circulation needs of local residents, heritage tourism, business activity, and regional traffic flows through the City of Paterson.
