Abstract

Excerpt from the report Introduction: This annotated bibliography is intended to provide an overview of different aspects of transportation in rural America. Emphasis is on those studies published within the last 10 years, but some earlier citations are also included. Citations are organized into five categories. Studies dealing with the availability, demand, and condition of rural infrastructure are described first. Second, studies dealing with the importance of transportation for rural development are examined. Third, studies dealing with Federal and local governmental issues are identified, including financing, planning, and regulatory issues. Fourth, studies not fitting into one of the previous groupings, covering topics such as social services transportation, safety issues, and environmental concerns, are discussed. A fifth section highlights miscellaneous references, such as maps, atlases, and bibliographies. Finally, a non-annotated bibliography of additional studies on rural transportation is included.
