It's time to create a different kind of transportation policy for rural America, one that builds better places to live and work – not one that simply makes it easier to bypass rural America on the way to somewhere else.

Help create transportation policies that work for rural America.

Spread the word – help get others involved in the campaign. Send this page to a friend and share it on your social networks.

Here are the key points from the Rural Transportation Policy Paper:

Rural and Native American voices must be included in regional and statewide transportation planning processes.
National, state, local, and tribal governements must work collaboratively to design, build, maintain, and coordingate transportation infrastructure, including broadband technologies.
Rural residents need and deserve available public transportation, including regional and intermodal sustems, and need those systems to be accessible to all. Accessibility should, at a minimum, meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (ADA).
Transportation infrastructure investments should promote the economic, environmental, and social health and well-being of rural communitities and landscapes.
Flexible funding and public-private coordination are needed to support the unique transportation needs of diverse rural communities.
