USE OF REVENUE SHARING FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN RURAL AREAS

A E Kidder

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore whether rural towns and counties use part of their revenue-sharing funds to support public transit operations or other aspects of public transportation such as road construction and maintenance. This is of interest because the current demonstrations of public transportation programs in rural areas are supported mainly by federal demonstration funds from the Federal Highway Administration, and they face possible funding termination unless sufficient local financial support is forthcoming. This study is also of interest because of the impact of new legislation that makes broader federal assistance available to public transportation in nonurbanized areas. (Author)
