Module 3: Program Clearinghouse

This module provides examples of rural programs that are creating or improving transportation in rural communities. Some organizations are funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy as part of the 330A Outreach Authority program, which focuses on expanding access to healthcare services in rural areas.

These organizations have developed promising programs designed to improve transportation in a rural community. Evidence-based and promising service models for improving transportation are available in Module 2.
