Applying the concepts of both ‘‘mobility’’ and ‘‘accessibility’’ to the rural Northeast, the Institute’s surveys will explore the issues of ‘‘rural isolation’’ and driver travel behavior. The survey will address these questions: • How serious a problem is rural isolation and perceptions of access (or lack thereof)? • How are the economic forces acting on the rural areas affecting the manner, and length of trips in the rural Northeast? • How are demographics going to change and/or influence the demands made on the transportation system? and • What would be the transportation implications of different settlement patterns? Respondents: Approximately 800 respondents for survey 1 and 600 respondents for survey 2. Frequency: one time. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes per survey. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Approximately 700 hours.
