Abstract:

Rural areas in every state experience myriad challenges related directly or indirectly to transportation. These challenges vary among and within states and in the ways transportation can be part of a solution. Challenges include air service from rural airports; access to health care; availability of emergency medical services after a crash; mobility of the elderly and people with disabilities; the movement of agricultural products to markets; human trafficking; access to high-speed electronic communications; natural disasters; passenger rail services; agency workforce recruitment and retention; and the relationship of transportation to economic development. This report identifies transportation-related issues faced by rural communities and suggests research needed to provide information and data to state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other public agencies to inform infrastructure investment decisions.
