| Abstract | To identify how many of the country's 82.4 million rural residents are within the reasonable coverage radius of at least one intercity transportation facility, in 2003 the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) undertook a geospatial analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to plot these facilities. Reasonable coverage radius was defined as 25 miles around bus and rail stations and smaller airports. For medium and large hub airports, the study used a wider 75-mile coverage radius. These parameters are based on commonly used assumptions within the passenger transportation industry and previous work done by BTS and the Office of the Secretary of Transportation. |
