Interactions between improved rural access infrastructure and transport services provision, Final Report
This report discusses the practical implications of the survey results as well as findings concerning possible options to improve RTS
Abstract
The ‘Interactions: Maintenance-Provision of Access for Rural Transport Services (IMPARTS)’ project has been examining how investments in low-volume rural road (LVRR) construction (provision) and maintenance (preservation) affect rural transport services (RTS). This report discusses the practical implications of the survey results as well as findings concerning possible options to improve RTS. Improvements in RTS are most likely to be achieved through district level participatory initiatives to introduce ways of consolidating passenger numbers, sharing routes and working to timetables. It is recommended that road agencies and transport services agencies collaborate (or integrate).
