Annotated Bibliography on Rural Intercity Passenger Transportation

Excerpts from the Introduction: The reports summarized in the Annotated Bibliography were reviewed in preparation for a series of three regional symposia held in December 1987 through May 1988 focusing on rural intercity passenger transportation. To compile the Bibliography, every State transportation or highway department throughout the country was contacted for recent State-level studies on rural passenger transportation. Those reports provided by the States are included in the Bibliography. The symposia, jointly sponsored by the United Bus Owners of America, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Transportation, were held to identify the issues and gather comments from rural transportation providers and users throughout the country. The North Central Regional Symposium was held in Des Moines, Iowa, on December 7-9, 1987; the Eastern in Annapolis, Maryland, on April 20-22, 1988; and the Western in San Francisco, California, on May 18-20, 1988.
