The purpose of the project was to prepare a Guidebook and conduct a workshop to assist small urban/rural communities to assess public transportation needs and programs. The Guidebook Is to be used by both existing program operators to improve or modify their operations, and by other communities to determine local needs and develop new programs. Prior to commencing work on the Guidebook, COMSIS personnel met with NMSHTD staff to discuss the project objectives and to assemble relevant information. In addition, a survey form was distributed to each of the currently operating Section 18 properties. The completed survey forms were reviewed and summarized.85
