Module 2: Promising Transportation Program Models

Rural communities are implementing programs to address common transportation challenges. This toolkit identifies models for implementing transportation programs in rural communities. No single model is right for every community. Most rural communities combine different models and implement more than one model at the same time to meet their needs. The most appropriate mix of program models may depend on the rural community's needs, the population of focus, available funding, and community characteristics.

To learn how to identify and adapt interventions, see Developing a Rural Community Health Program in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.

This toolkit identifies 9 models for implementing a rural transportation program:

• Active Transportation Models
• Connector Services
• Coordinated Services Models
• Mobility Management
• Mobility on Demand
• Public Transportation
• Ridesharing Models
• Volunteer Models
• Voucher Models
