ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON RURAL INTERCITY PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION

The reports summarized in this 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. 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. 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 this Bibliography. The documents summarized are categorized as being national or State in focus. They provided symposia participants with background information on the studies conducted and reports written during the 1980's, with emphasis given to those completed since passage of the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982. The bibliographies prepared for each symposium have been combined for use at the National Conference for Reconnecting Rural America held in Omaha, Nebraska, on August 22-24, 1988.
