There are many challenges to promoting active transportation in a rural area. Among them:
• Most research and writing on community design, active transportation, cycling, planning etc. is urban in context
• Rural “car culture”
• Distances between destinations
• Limited tax base but extensive road network to keep maintained
• Often, transportation = Cars = Roads, with little consideration given to other modes of transportation
