Abstract
This report examines strategies and practices used to coordinate rural transportation services and identifies model processes used for local coordination efforts in rural communities. This report includes information on who needs to be involved in coordinated transportation, how coordination works, and coordination's benefits. The toolkit provides information, instructions, and lessons learned from rural communities that have implemented coordinated transportation services. This information may be used by local communities, state agencies, and tribal governments in planning and implementing coordinated community transportation services in rural areas. (Author/publisher)
