Athens Mobility Management Program
Mobility Management seeks to optimize ALL transportation resources in our community. Helping to inform, improve, and assist specialized transportation needs for older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals with lower incomes through a wide range of general public activities. These activities look beyond a single transportation service or solution to a "family of services" philosophy that can offer a wide range of services and options to meet an equally wide array of community demographics and needs.
The activities and strategies that commonly fall under mobility management include:
- "One Stop" information centers that coordinate information on all transportation options and assistance to the community.
- Planning and implementation of coordinated services between local, state, private agencies and organizations.
- Communications with various segments of the community to solicit opportunities to assist residents with their transportation needs now and in the future.
This is an exciting new project serving the City of Athens and Athens County in a joint effort to coordinate transportation services for our residents. More information will become available here, as we continue to build a successful mobility program.
