Representing Small, Rural, & Specialized Transportation Providers Statewide

The California Statewide Rural Intercity Bus Study Draft Final Report is now available from the Caltrans Division of Mass Transportation (DMT) for review and comment. This is a draft report, and it will be revised in response to your input before it becomes a final report document. This study makes recommendations regarding policy and program changes in the Caltrans program of assistance for rural intercity services under the federal Section 5311(f) funding program for rural intercity services. It found that the overall coverage of the various operators provides for some type of intercity linkage to most of the places identified as having high or moderate needs. However, these various services do not function as a network, and there are issues with connectivity and user information. The study recommends shifting the focus of the program to address connectivity as the major state emphasis.

The report is available from the California Department of Transportation website. Comments are due back to Caltrans by January 21, 2008. Comments can be provided in the comment box , or provided by e-mail, fax, or in writing to:
