Final Report Abstract
The intent of the Rural Transit Fact Book is to serve as a national resource for statistics and information on rural transit in America. This publication includes rural demographic and travel behavior data as well as financial and operating statistics for agencies receiving section 5311 funding. In addition to national level data, statistics are presented by state, FTA region, tribe, and mode, as well as other agency characteristics. The rural transit data presented in this report were obtained from the Rural National Transit Database (NTD) for 2007-2009. The 2009 data were released early this year and were the most recent data available at the time of publication, and 2007 is the first year in which data for the Rural NTD were collected.
