Planning for Transportation in Rural Areas
The purpose of this document, Planning for Transportation in Rural Areas, is to provide a resource to rural planners, city and county engineers, stakeholders, local officials, and other decision-makers involved with developing rural transportation plans. Rather than attempting to make this document a definitive step-by-step guide to rural transportation planning, it is intended to be a useful resource to those involved with rural planning. The document is intended to contribute to a better understanding about: How rural is defined, the characteristics of the rural system, issues and trends impacting the rural system, and the benefits of a good rural transportation system; How various jurisdictional levels address rural transportation planning, major rural transportation planning challenges, and some lessons to be learned on how states are addressing these challenges; Questions to be answered before getting started on a rural plan, approaches for public consultation and environmental review, the basic components for rural transportation planning, and how to develop the plans; How transit system planning concepts, rural intelligent transportation systems, and access management can be used as additional tools for rural transportation planners; and Successful rural transportation planning efforts from several states. Throughout the document, references are provided for additional sources of information on rural planning approaches. In addition, Appendix D at the end of the document includes a list of World Wide Web resources, technical and policy references, and a glossary of transportation planning terms to assist rural transportation planners.
