The report provides an evaluation of a volunteer rural transportation program of eight counties of Indiana. The evaluation focused on the organizational framework of the 5 operating boards, and the performance and impact of the services. The emphasis was to determine how well the systems satisfied the operational objectives of the program, namely: to make affordable, cost effective, flexible, rural, public transportation to residents of the communities willing to share responsibilities for providing the transportation; to reduce federal, state or local government operating subsidies for gasoline and drivers for the program by having each community pay their own fuel use and recruit volunteer drivers for the vans; and to enhance the dignity and sense of ownership of the public transportation user and the community served.
