Description:

Safe, accessible, and efficient transportation is a prerequisite for health and prosperity. In comparison to the nation’s urban areas, rural communities face unique challenges in providing transportation that effectively serves their residents. The purpose of this study is to identify and address unmet safety and mobility needs in rural areas. To identify unmet needs and reflect the diversity of the rural U.S., the study develops eight rural county types, in recognition that unmet needs and the strategies used to address them are not uniform. Multiple strategies are identified as part of the study, several of which are showcased in case studies from around the country. Improving broadband is a common theme across the strategies, highlighting the technology’s critical role in improving safety and mobility in rural areas.
