Rural Public Transportation Strategies for Responding to the Livable and Sustainable Communities Initiative. Research Results Digest 375.

摘要

Livability in transportation is about using the quality, location, and type of transportation facilities and services available to help achieve broader community goals. These goals include access to employment options, community services, affordable housing, quality schools, and safe streets, all essential quality-of-life elements of value to rural communities. In June 2009, officials from several federal agencies announced the Partnership for Sustainable Communities (PSC) and its six livability principles, which had been developed as a foundation for interagency coordination.
