| Abstract | Rural areas and small towns can benefit from diverse transportation options, just like urban and suburban areas. However, some of the specific needs and opportunities for economic benefit are different. Some rural areas are increasing in population, especially among retirees and senior citizens, who depend on transportation options. A growing trend of bicycle tourism has created a need for new services and has been a financial boom for small towns and rural areas. Specialized transit, trails, and sidewalks can increase property values, attract tourists, and improve the quality of life for residents. |
