This report describes and evaluates a five-year federal and state financed demonstration of state-administered subsidies for rural transit users and providers in West Virginia. The demonstration pioneered the use of multi-modal user-side subsidy tickets for some 12,000 low-income elderly and handicapped residents of West Virginia and the creation of new or expanded rural bus service in the five regions. Significant mobility improvements were experienced by the eligible group of TRIP ticket recipients and by clients of social service agencies, who were often provided special service by the rural bus systems. Viable rural bus service persists in the five regions, aided in part by TRIP ticket use and in part by continuing local, state, and federal support.
