The CORTPO regional transportation planning organization launched a local mobility management program in Central Oklahoma to improve access to mobility residents.
A Mobility Manager serves as a guide and advocate, working to ensure that individuals with diverse mobility needs can access transportation options, navigate their communities, and participate fully in society. Their aim is to empower individuals by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to navigate transportation systems effectively.
In many rural areas, essential services such as healthcare, education, and employment opportunities might be spread out. Improved mobility ensures that residents can access these vital services more easily. It helps bridge the gap between remote areas and essential facilities, making healthcare visits, schooling, and job access more feasible.
Mobility is crucial for economic growth in rural areas. Access to public transportation can attract investments and businesses to these areas, creating job opportunities and fostering economic development.
Mobility isn't just about physical transportation; it's about connecting people. It is vital for mental health, community bonding, and overall well-being, reducing isolation and fostering a sense of belonging within rural communities.
