Description: Mobility managers work through many channels, but always with the same goal in mind: increasing the number of job seekers and other community members who know about and have access to reliable, affordable mobility options. But in practical terms, what does this mean? Join in this conversation with three mobility managers, two working in an urban setting and one in a rural setting, as we tease out answers to the following questions: What is your goal as a mobility manager? How do you work at different levels and with different partners within your community to accomplish this goal? What types of activities have led to success? What stumbling blocks have you hit in your efforts?
You will also hear about a new training opportunity tailored for mobility managers, transportation resource coordinators/navigators and others to guide them in supporting community-based agencies, direct service staff and customers in harnessing transportation solutions.
