University of Vermont researchers analyzed national survey data on transportation burdens to evaluate the differences in who experiences transportation burdens in rural versus nonrural areas, the factors that drive these differences, and how to improve mobility and access in rural populations.

This study focuses on the transportation experiences and challenges of migrants from Latin America residing in the largely rural border state of Vermont. The research team conducted semi-structured interviews with Latine migrant workers to better understand their mobility and quality of life.
