This report summarizes the findings from a telephone survey designed to measure the potential impact of intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies in rural communities. The survey follows previous research conducted for the U.S. Department of Transportation's Rural Intelligent Transportation System Program that examined the opportunities and challenges of planning and deploying advanced public transportation systems (APTS) technologies in rural and small urban areas. That research included a user needs assessment to determine the information requirements, problems and concerns of both transit operators and passengers of rural transit systems. The study determined that riders were relatively satisfied with the services provided and recommended conducting a follow-up survey of non-users to determine the barriers associated with transit use for this specific population. |
