摘要：	The lack of transportation is one of the most frequently cited problems facing people with disabilities living in rural areas. This paper explores a voucher program for rural transportation. Three case studies of programs implementing a voucher framework, supported in part by volunteers, are presented. These demonstrations were conducted in seven rural, "frontier", counties in two states. The population density of the seven counties averaged less than six people per square mile. One program was administered by an independent living center; two, by development disabilities case management service programs. The vouchers themselves provided a measurement method for evaluating the scope and use of transportation. The analysis shows that 35,000 miles of rides were provided for employment, daily living, evening and weekend social purposes, and non-emergency medical treatment at a relatively low cost.
