Rural Public Transit Operators are entering an era when they must become more than transit providers, they must become mobility managers. The heart of this effort would be an information system that contained the elements necessary to manage a trip regionwide using public and private transportation resources, a 'Mobility Information Management System' (MIMS). This report presents a design for a rural, multi-country transportation management system. The system is designed to provide residents access to important trip information to assist them in making informed transportation choices. The final design of the system, which evolved after several attempts, will be demonstrated using a case study of a region in northwest Alabama, includes survey data collected from transportation providers; a database system to maintain, query, and update the information; and an Internet-based system for the public to learn what services are provided. The system, after inclusion of all transportation service data, provides a convenient mechanism to educate the public on transportation service agencies to help passengers arrange needed transportation services.
