Improved coordination of transportation services between transit and human service transportation providers was identified as a need in the Oklahoma Transit Policy Plan.
ODOT is implementing Mobility Management, which is to improve coordination among public transportation and other transportation service providers to enhance transportation access for people beyond those served by one agency or organization within a community, usually health or human services providers, sometimes provided by state or local agencies, other times by non-profit groups embedded in different communities. Oklahoma currently has three Mobility Management Pilot Programs in the state (denoted in green), with five more to be launched in 2024.
To serve the entire state, 17 additional programs would need to be created. The estimated cost of each Mobility Management program is $100,000 annually. A statewide mobility management program is estimated to have a program cost of $2.5 million per year.
