Download or read book Rethinking Federal Investments in Rural Transportation written by Brian Dabson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The upcoming reauthorization of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU) provides an opportunity to modernize, strengthen, and integrate the transportation system that connects rural people and places to each other and to the wider world, and to improve transportation, economic development and quality of life outcomes for rural America. As Congress begins consideration of this omnibus reauthorization, five policy goals should serve as principles against which to assess whether the diverse components of this new legislation are actually positing policy innovations which can yield more positive, substantial, and long-term outcomes for rural America, and thus for the nation as a whole. Will this approach: 1. Build capacity to support local engagement in planning, decision-making and resource allocation? 2. Encourage innovation and integration to enhance the efficacy and efficiency of these investments? 3. Shift resources, where appropriate, to address the most pressing rural needs and opportunities? 4. Encourage integrated regional planning and implementation? and 5. Lead to improved quality of life in rural communities?

This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Public transportation in rural areas can be critical to connecting people to jobs, shopping, and health services. FTA awarded approximately $600 million in grants in both fiscal year 2013 and 2014 to support rural transit, including tribal transit. The current surface transportation authorization, enacted in 2012, increased funding for tribal transit from about $15 to $30 million per year and changed how these funds are allocated. The committee asked GAO to review FTA's rural transit program. This report examines (1) FTA's funding, oversight, and other support for the rural transit program; (2) changes in services, ridership, and costs since 2009; and (3) challenges that rural and tribal transit providers face and possible actions to address them. To address these topics, GAO reviewed program documentation and conducted about 50 interviews with FTA officials, national groups that have a relationship with rural transit providers, state transportation officials, and officials from rural and tribal transit providers. GAO selected state officials and providers based on grant amounts, the types of services offered, the size of transit systems, and geography, among other factors. Results are not generalizable to all states and providers. Additionally, GAO analyzed FTA data on transit services, ridership, and costs from 2009 through 2012, the latest year data were available. This report contains no recommendations"
