Rural Travel Behavior and Accessibility

Principal Investigator: Dr. Lisa Aultman-Hall
Funding Agency: US DOT

Project Summary

In this project, Dr. Aultman-Hall will work with Justine Sears of the TRC to assess travel patterns of rural residents and determine how this impacts the design and operation of more sustainable transportation systems. This may require improvements to the typical measures of travel, as well as the measures of urban/rural landscapes, both of which have been defined to serve metropolitan transportation planning scenarios.
