• Abstract:
  Constant growth in rural areas and extensive suburban development have contributed to increasingly more people needing seamless and adequate public transportation into and from nearby cities. Coordinating existing services or determining the need for expanded services tends to require new paradigm thinking for those interested in servicing the growing potential market for inter-regional travel. Added to the travel pressures in these growing regions is the call from funding agencies and planners to better integrate medical and special trips with more traditional public transportation service. The purpose of this guidebook is to serve as a resource for jurisdictions and agencies that wish to develop or improve public transportation opportunities for travelers who cross established agency and jurisdictional boundaries. The guidebook reflects the most recent thinking as reported in literature, surveys, and telephone interviews of communities across America who are addressing provision of better coordinated, seamless public transportation for super regions. The guidebook contains conditions that should trigger consideration to improve coordination between public transportation providers, as well as tools, strategies, and organizational structures that are working in communities across America.
