The Feasibility of Mobility Management in the United States

Abstract

Mobility management aims at the provision of accessible, multimodal, and affordable transportation services to all individuals in a community, including the elderly, disabled and lower income individuals. It has much potential to deliver public transit services in a cost efficient way and uses a customer driven and market based approach to make it more responsive to the needs of individuals in a community. In mobility management, there is much emphasis on coordination and collaboration, which makes mobility management an attractive option for many communities, especially in an era of limited funding and shortage of resources. To explore the feasibility of its practice in this country, this paper has tried to disseminate valuable information on regulations and statutes that help to establish the legal foundation for mobility management and also support services that are available from advocacy agencies and interest groups to develop, manage, and sustain such programs.

Rural Transportation Conference Participants’ Opinions and Concerns Pertaining to Transit for Older Adults

“…Past research has shown mobility increases the quality of life and livability of a region (Burns, 1999;Ripplinger et al, 2012), the elderly need improved transportation options (Choi et al, 2012;Glasgow & Blakely, 2000), and the demand for mobility is increasing (Coughlin & D'Ambrosio, 2012;Shaheen, 2012). Studies also find regions are designing and implementing innovative approaches to meet mobility needs (Cobb & Coughlin, 2004;Mujumdar et al, 2013;Shaheen, 2012). Gwilliam (2008) reviews the international literature on transit economics, albeit with a focus on urban areas.…”

Les centres de gestion des déplacements au Québec : un instrument de renouvellement de la planification des transports ?

“…Une définition simple de la GDT est proposée par Berman et Radow (1997) (Majumdar et al, 2012). La mise en oeuvre de la GDT implique ainsi une bonne part d'activités de promotion des changements de comportement, bien qu'elle n'en reste pas là; elle implique aussi des programmes concrets et des infrastructures physiques pour appuyer ces changements (Lim, 1997).…”
