Step Up, America: 5 Ways Public Transportation Is Crucial To Our Small Towns
(BPT) - If you’ve ever had to scramble to
get to work because your car isn’t running - or
you’ve been unable to drive due to an injury -
you understand some of the challenges of the
vast number of Americans who rely on public
transportation in small towns.
And as baby boomers move into their golden
years, they’re creating demand for more investment
in public transportation options - especially
in small towns and rural areas.
Those are the findings of a study by the
American Public Transportation Association
(APTA) showing such small-town ridership
grew nearly 8 percent from 2007 to 2015, even
though rural populations declined by more than
a half million residents. The top users of such
rural amenities? Seniors, veterans and those
with disabilities.
In many cases that population would otherwise
find it problematic to find regular transportation
to and from jobs, healthcare facilities
• Because many seniors prefer to age in
place rather than move to high-employment
urban areas, seniors make up 17 percent of
populations in rural areas compared to 13
percent of urban populations.
• Transportation can take a big financial bite
out of those living in rural areas; on average,
they spend 7 percent more on transportation
than city dwellers.
• Rural public transit boosts safety and reduces
the overall risk of traffic accidents, and not just
among vulnerable populations. U.S. commuters
as a whole reduce their crash risk by more than
90 percent when choosing public transit over
driving; overall, transit-oriented communities
undergo just 20 percent of the traffic casualties
suffered by auto-oriented communities.
To help address transportation issues for
seniors, the San Joaquin Regional Transit
District in San Joaquin, California, is offering
a transportation service allowing them to meet

and stores, explaining why it’s important to
convince legislators to invest in creating more
small-town infrastructure and programming.
“It’s no secret we are a major retirement area
for millions of seniors moving from other areas
including many, many veterans,” states Brad
Miller, CEO of the Pinellas Suncoast Transit
Authority in St. Petersburg, Florida. “Public
transportation is so critical as we all are aging
and need mobility options as we get older.”
Some other important facts about the demand
for more widespread public transportation:
• A full 33 percent of U.S. veterans who are
part of the VA health care system - some 2.9
million people who have worked to defend
our country - live in rural and small towns.
Many have been wounded and rely on public
transportation due to limited mobility.
• Americans with disabilities who live in
small towns require 50 percent more public
transportation trips than unimpaired people.

non-emergency medical appointments.
“We need to connect seniors to jobs, and
especially to their medical transportation services,”
emphasizes CEO Donna DeMartino.
“They may have healthcare, but if they can’t
get there it does them no good.”
Transportation is also key to older residents of
State College, Pennsylvania, one of the fastestgrowing
retirement communities in the nation.
“We do have a number of people who have
stayed in the area or are coming back home,
and they want independence and to stay in
their homes,” notes Louwana Oliva, general
manager of the city’s Centre Area Transportation
Authority. “A lot of times, transportation
is that key. They can manage to stay at home
if they have transportation that gets them to
healthcare and out to socialize.”
