Two per cent have no transport i
• Two per cent of the
residents -of a typical
rural Ontario area have
no transportation
available to them, ac-
cording to a survey
conductdd by the
University of Guelph's,
Rural Developm-ent
Outreach Project. This
means a total of about 260
peoplein ix represen-
tative townships sur-
veyed.
The survey was con-
ducted- in' six northern
townships of Huron ,
County, namely Ashfield,
East Wawanosh, West
Wawanosh, Morris,
Turnberry, and Howick.
The town , of Wingham
and the villages of
Brussels and Blyth are
included in the survey -
area.
The study also showed
that of those lacking
transportation over half
are handicapped and
almost two thirds are
over 65- years old. Over
one third of those lacking
transportation live alone.
All of those lacking ac-
cess to transportation
live in the town or
villages.
Transportation needs
pose a serious problem in
rural areas for those who
lack access to a
household vehicle. Bus -
service in mbst areas is
not --economically
possible, and distances
make taxi service too
costly for most.
The University of
Guelph study repo,rt notes
that four segments of
society -have a greater
likelihood of being
"transportation disad-
vantaged" than the
general population.
These are the young, the
elderly, the poor, and the
handicapped.
The study found that
almost two thirds of the
total population in the
study area had "com-
plete access" to tran-
sportation. That is, they
had a household vehicle
available at all times for
use.
Over a third were found
to have, "partial access"
to transportatiOn. These
people had a vehicle
available to drive
sometimes, orcould ride
as a passenger, in a
farnily vehicle.
Among those with
partial access, the study
found that over one third
are under 16 years of age
and 11 per cent are over
65. Half of them live in
Wingham or one of the
two villages in the survey'

The main objective of
the University of
Guelph's Rural
Development Outreach.
Project, filinded by the
Kellogg Foundation, of
Battle Creek, Michigan,
is to facilitate the mat-
ching' of University
resources to the needsof
rural communities.
In keeping with this
principle, the Huron
Committee, composed of
members from the
. county -and from the
University of Guelph, is
planning future efforts
that will assist' the North
Huron community to help
itself deal with the
existing transportation
situation. Particularly,
the committee will be
seeking to solve the needs
