Rural transportation has undergone significant changes over the last 15 years. The booming economy of the mid- to late 1990s, partly driven by expanded trade, has placed strains on the domestic transportation infrastructure. Deregulation and expanded State and local responsibilities for surface transportation have affected all areas of rural transportation highways, passenger service (including public transportation, intercity bus, passenger rail, and passenger air), trucking, inland waterways, and rail freight. The recent recession and heightened security concerns have disrupted air transportation and necessitated costly security provisions.
