The manual summarizes the lessons that have been learned from the Section 147 Rural Transit Demonstrations about service and fare policies, and performance and costs. The report concludes that rural transit services have to be innovative, combining conventional transit operations with fixed routes and regular schedules with various forms of paratransit, to meet the specific needs of individual areas. The report also emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of costs and system performance as transit services develop. The report provides capsule summaries of system characteristics and performance for selected projects, identified by State.
