COORDINATION OF RURAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES IN THREE SOUTHEASTERN STATES

The study examines eight coordinated systems in the states of Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina. Coordination was broken into three types: institutional ridesharing, purchase of service contracts, and consolidation of services under one provider. In-depth case studies examine the processes which developed the coordinated systems, and the operational and financial aspects of these systems. Coordination efforts at the state level are also examined in all three states. The report should be especially useful to small transit operators and social service providers with needs for transportation.
