| 摘要： | Public transportation plays a fundamental role in the livability of all communities. The Rural Transit Fact Book provides information on transit service availability and cost to help the transit industry in the United States provide efficient and effective service to meet rural community mobility needs. Financial and operating statistics can be used by agency managers, local decision makers, state directors, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and lawmakers to assist in policy making, planning, managing operations, and evaluating performance. The Rural Transit Fact Book serves as a national resource for statistics and information on rural transit in America. This publication includes rural demographic and travel behavior data as well as financial and operating statistics for agencies receiving section 5311 funding. In addition to national level data, statistics are presented by state, FTA region, tribe, and mode, as well as other agency characteristics. The rural transit data presented in this report were obtained from the Rural National Transit Database (NTD). The 2011 edition of the Rural Transit Fact Book was the first published by SURTC and included Rural NTD data for 2007-2009. Since 2011, annual updates have been made to the book to provide updated data. The 2017 edition includes 2015 data from the Rural NTD as well as additional data from the American Community Survey, American Housing Survey, and National Household Travel Survey. As noted, this publication presents data for transit providers receiving section 5311 Non-Urbanized Area Formula Program funding. This program provides funding to states to support public transportation in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000. A number of rural transit providers also receive funding under the section 5310, Transportation for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Program. However, nationwide data for 5310 services are not available, as providers are not required to report such data to the NTD. Therefore, rural transit providers not funded by the 5311 program but receiving funding from section 5310 are not included in this report. Also excluded from the report are providers that receive both section 5311 funds and section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program funding and report their data in the urban NTD. This edition expands upon previous versions of the Fact Book by including more detailed information on the geographic service coverage of rural transit providers. This information was collected by reviewing the websites of individual transit providers, state departments of transportation, and transit associations across the country. This edition also includes additional demographic information for rural areas and tribal communities. |
