Abstract:Mobility is extremely important, especially in rural areas, which have dispersed populations and locations.
This study was conducted among rural minority populations to evaluate human transportation needs of the
underserved rural population in Oklahoma, with particular emphasis on vehicle availability and accessibility.
Three surveys were conducted with 142 randomly selected individuals, 32 tribal governments, and 113
randomly selected municipal governments, respectively. Results indicate that vehicle ownership levels are
high. Respondents indicated that there exists very little public transportation, and those who do not own
automobiles or cannot drive such as the elderly, have limited mobility, in most cases relying on family
members and relatives for their travel. Because of monetary constraints and limited usage of public
transportation, municipal and tribal governments are reluctant to provide transportation services.
