Abstract:

Low-income people in Watauga County showed that by sharing the expenses of a community-owned vehicle, they could save money and get to places more efficiently. This led to the development of a rural transportation system called the Green Eagle Community Transportation Cooperative. The transportation system includes six buses and has enabled an increase in jobs, income, and economic growth.
