The National Center for Mobility Management’s (NCMM) vision is for all community members to have access to a seamless network of transportation services that support them in integrating into their community and pursuing their goals. To achieve this vision, NCMM facilitates mobility management practitioners and their community partners in adopting a customer-centered approach in the design and coordination of transportation services.

NCMM is seeking letters of interest from communities who would like to have NCMM facilitate a one- day meeting with mobility management practitioners and their partners to try to solve a particular perplexing mobility issue that requires cross-agency coordination. These meetings will take place in- person before September 30, 2024 (but can be held remotely as circumstances dictate). NCMM will facilitate up to five meetings in total. Through this opportunity, mobility stakeholders within a self- defined “mobility region” will be able to meet, network, and together begin to develop potential solutions to the identified issue. NCMM will work closely with the selected communities to co-design these one-day meetings to ensure they effectively addresses the communities’ goals. Note that the chosen “mobility region” cannot be statewide; this is intended to make progress on a localized issue.

The Issue-Focused Mobility Meetings will be designed to offer networking, training, and information sharing opportunities to develop and deepen mobility management practices in your mobility region. The meetings aim to support and strengthen mobility through the following:
  • Enable learning, discussion, and problem solving regarding a specific "regional" mobility issue with involved stakeholders
  • Strengthen connections between mobility management practitioners and their partners from other sectors (e.g., veterans care, health care, employment access, transportation, aging services, human service agencies) who are trying to address transportation issues
  • Enable the adoption of transportation coordination and mobility management in federal, state, and local transportation programs that are responsive to the mobility needs of older adults, people with disabilities, low-income individuals and families, and other community members

Question Title

* 4. What is the geographic region you would be focusing on?
A “mobility region” can encompass a single or partial municipality, a single or partial county, or a multi- county region (but not an entire state). The main criteria for defining a mobility region is that it reflects travel patterns and needs of the region. For example, in rural areas, residents may routinely travel across counties for jobs and services, whereas in small urban areas residents may mostly travel within the city boundaries.
