Rural transit needs help. According to analysis from the National Transit Database, 87 percent of the least-productive bus networks are located in rural counties with populations lower than 50,000 residents.

These “transit deserts” in rural areas have major social, economic, and health consequences. How can technology and better planning solve the problem?

In this episode, Andrei and Tiffany explore the rural transit divide. Across the country, small towns and cities are coming up with new solutions to old mobility problems – making rural transit smarter, more accessible, and more affordable.

Guests:

  • Valdosta, Georgia Mayor Scott Matheson
  • Scott Bogren, executive director at Community Transportation for America
  • Caroline Rodriguez, executive director of High Valley Transit
