Abstract:

This study was designed to examine the issues related to rural public transportation, focusing specifically on gaining local support and funding. The concept involved the establishment of a local group that would guide the planning and development of a program to improve the mobility of the transportation disadvantaged in the target area. Next, a field survey was undertaken to diagnose the transportation problems. Using the survey findings, the local support group developed goals and objectives for a transportation program to address the identified needs. An analysis of the transportation resources existing in the immediate and surrounding areas was then made. Based upon the existing conditions, a set of alternatives were developed and evaluated. This evaluation utilized a cost-effective analysis. To offset the local cost of transportation provision, revenue-generating concepts were proposed. Recommendations for continued local support group actions were suggested along with a plan for transportation service improvement for the mobility-limited population.
