Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

By moving commercial products to markets and providing many rural residents with access to jobs and services, transportation serves as a vital link to opportunities outside rural areas. However, parts of the rural transportation network have fallen into disrepair. Balancing the need to upgrade transportation infrastructure with decreasing availability of Federal funding and changing regulations will likely continue to be one of the major challenges facing rural America.
