What is Mobility Management?
"Mobility management is a strategic approach to service coordination and customer service that is becoming a worldwide trend in the public transportation sector. In its most basic form, mobility management is simply the good use of a great variety of existing transportation resources, the use of less expensive alternatives, and the creation of inter-agency partnerships, all with the primary goal of providing customized service to residents and communities." American Public Transportation Association

NY Mobility Managers Community
Here are three ways to connect with NY mobility managers and their peers.
1. Basecamp sites 2. 3. Partnership for Mobility Management National MM community with blog, training & active LinkedIn group. NY Mobility Managers Google Group DiscussionsYour are invited to join in discussions with NY Mobility Managers in a Google Group.
PartnershipforMobilityManagementThe Partnership for Mobility Management is a joint effort of national organizations that work with national, local, state and regional leaders and organizations to improve transportation options for all Americans wherever they live and to assist those especially in need of alternative mobility options.
The Partnership is a collaboration of eight organizations, (United We Ride (FTA), AASHTO, ABA, APTA, ACT, CTAA, Easter Seals and TLPA). I strongly encourage everyone, including you, to join the Partnership for Mobility Management, a national level organization supporting mobility management and managers. The free individual membership gives you a voice in the direction of the Partnership and provides a forum for exchange with mobility managers from around the country. If you are a mobility manager, you work with mobility managers or you're interested in mobility management, then the Partnership wants you to join. One benefit of membership is access to the Partnership's LinkedIn Group. There is a lot happening in mobility management in New York and on the national scene. This is hard work, requiring successful coalition building, inter-relationships, mutual support and resources. Mobility managers need to share ideas, problems, solutions and customer-focused strategies. This LinkedIn Group are a useful way to do so. Questions?

Did you go to a summer camp as a youth? I did. The first time every- thing is new. Many choices. High energy. The next time you are a veteran and better prepared. This camp experience carries over to Transportation Camp, except the food is better and it lasts just one day.Read more
