Abstract
The primary purpose of this project was to review, analyze, and compile information and resources to support transportation equity in rural communities throughout the U.S. We used publicly available databases and information in the form of published reports, articles, and presentations to examine the following research questions:
- What resources are available to support transportation equity in rural communities?
- What measures are available to guide the assessment of transportation equity and the prioritization of transportation investments?
- What transportation policy and program innovations and reforms are available to support transportation equity in rural communities?
