• Abstract:
  This report contains an evaluation of a specialized volunteer, rural transportation program implemented in April of 1986. The Area IV Agency on Aging and Community Services received a grant from the Urban Mass Transit Administration for this project. The evaluation of these volunteer transportation systems focused on two major areas: the organizational framework of the operating boards, and the performance and impact of these transportation services. Five rural communities were selected to participate in these systems according to their population, distance from the greater Lafayette area, and the size of the elderly and low income population residing in them.
