This study examines alternative means of forecasting rural public transportation patronage with explicit attention to persons likely to be affected by welfare to work requirements. Original data gathered on rural transit and auto commuters provides a basis for determining the influence of service quality and household characteristics rural commute mode choice. Alternative specifications of a binary logit type model failed to produce a method deemed adequate for patronage forecasting. Significant variables included travel time, travel cost, numbers of household drivers, age of commuter, and whether the commuter had ever received welfare benefits. Despite the lack of conclusive statistical results, the authors observed rural public transportation operators serving welfare to work clients.
