Access in Appalachia Pilot Implementation

Project summary:

This project produced a launch point for larger applications across the 13-state Appalachian region. In addition, the measures and applications developed during the project can be integrated into the National Accessibility Evaluation for the benefit of other states and regions. Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina gained new insights from the data sets and maps produced by the project for evaluating access gaps by demographic groups, modes, and regions. The states' participation in and technical guidance for this research strengthens the connection to project prioritization and decision-making processes in the region.
