Lilly Shoup and Becky Homa of Transportation for America have written the whitepaper "Principles for Improving Transportation Options in Rural and Small Town Communities"

"Nowhere is it more important to take a smarter and more strategic approach to transportation than in rural and small town communities. The current system for planning, building, and maintaining transportation infrastructure in rural areas falls short of meeting the need for access within small cities and towns and their surrounding regions to jobs, shops, services, education, and healthcare."  For more information on the whitepaper, please click here.
