Abstract:An efficient multimodal transportation system is critical to the economic vitality of large metropolitan areas, smaller communities, and rural areas. The transportation issues in urban areas are receiving a good deal of attention, with less focus on the needs of rural areas. This research project examines the rural transportation system in Texas. It explores the demographic and economic characteristics of the state’s rural population. The history and current status of highways, roadways, public transit services, intercity buses, airports, and railroads serving rural portions of the state are examined. Case studies are presented on selected modes. Available information on future funding needs is reviewed. A multimodal approach needed to enhance the mobility and economic development in rural parts of Texas is presented and discussed.
