摘要：	The objective of this study was to assess the emergency preparedness of public transportation and school bus systems in rural coastal communities in the Gulf Coast region. The assessment focused on how adequately transit systems were prepared and what role they could play in the event of an emergency/evacuation event. For the assessment, a survey was adopted as the methodology. The survey was distributed to 46 public, private, and school transportation agencies within the 24 coastal counties of Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi, and four parishes of Louisiana in the Northern Gulf of Mexico region (NGM). Twenty four surveys were returned for a 52 percent response rate. The survey focused on the following topics: Transit services provided in rural areas; Communication systems used for transit; Ridership information and estimation; Information specific to emergency events; Transit employee issues; Evacuation preparation; Transit expenditures and revenue, and purchased transportation for emergency events; And Assessment of transit needs/coordination. The survey results of rural transit systems conducted for this assessment provided many insights on transit operations during evacuations, and how rural transit systems had become successful partners in complex, multi-agency emergency operations. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Mississippi State Univ., Biloxi.
