Abstract

A profile of the Enderlin community and its reason for selection is presented. Current and projected demographic data is provided, as is information on the local economy, available services, and mobility issues. Possible high-demand locations for users of public transportation, both local and regional, are identified.

This is followed by an overview of the process and results of the application of modern routing and school transportation techniques to the Enderlin School district. The report concludes with an outline of possible next steps and opportunities for further research on the issue.
