What is Mobility Management? “The practice of using all available resources (and developing new ones) to improve mobility, increase service efficiencies, and reduce overall costs.”

Ongoing Challenges • We are a car-centric state (geo/topography) • Benefits of the “public” part of public transportation sometimes difficult to convey to elected officials/agency administrators • What works in one CTD may flop in another • Providers want a MM in their CTD, but don’t think they can raise the local match for future years
