摘要

The 192-page report contains the major presentation and session summaries of a national conference on rural transit, held September 1987 in Ashland, Oregon. The meeting, which is one of the premier technical sessions on the topic, covers the full range of subjects connected with rural transportation. Topics of panels or presentations include funding, contracting, coordination, safety planning, substance abuse, use of volunteers, marketing, insurance, and legal issues. The document also includes roundtable session transcripts featuring several state program administrators and local transportation providers. Discussions of transportation on Indian reservations and experience with European systems help set the material in a broader context. The document should be of special interest to the operators of small and medium size transit systems.
