What is Mobility Management?
Mobility Management is an organizing concept, bringing together a range of strategies and partners focused on making sure people can get where they need to go. The goals are to:
- Connect people who need a ride with the most appropriate available choices;
- Increase transportation options to meet the needs of human service agency consumers and the transportation-disadvantaged community at large;
- Improve coordination and efficient utilization of existing public, community, private and volunteer transportation services; and
- Foster awareness, advocacy, policy development and planning that supports access and mobility for all in a sustainable manner .
