Rural transport equity is defined as a multi-objective measure of equitable accessibility to amenities. A multi-objective model with desirable/undesirable objectives is used to analyze cost/equity tradeoff. A DEA-based heuristic procedure can be used to search for noninferior solutions. GIS is used to process and synchronize extensive data and analytical results. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is shown with a case study in a rural community.
