| 摘要： | The objective of this research is to prepare guidelines for state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other public and private organizations involved in rural development and the provision of transportation services. These guidelines should address a range of components, building on a variety of examples of how agencies currently implement rural and remote access and connectivity programs: (1) Reviewing existing methods to measure access and connectivity, the data available, the data required, and what is missing; (2) Achieving equity in urban versus rural investment strategies; (3) Measuring economic effects and return on investment as a function of right-sizing investment strategies; (4) Developing a systematic approach to evaluating how rural communities are impacted by current investment in transportation, including difficulty in attracting and retaining economic activity and accessing employment, education, health services, housing, and other critical social and economic services as a measure of and contribution to quality of life; and (5) Designing, maintaining, and implementing innovative funding, financing, and investment strategies; and (6) Considering and evaluating institutional relationships, applications of new and emerging technologies, and partnerships needed to respond effectively. |
