Mobility Management

The New York City Department of Transportation's Mobility Management Program (MMP) seeks to coordinate and improve transportation opportunities for people with disabilities, older adults, and low income populations. This involves several methods, including:

  • Development of resources & tools for project managers and the community;
  • Coordination efforts within our agency, with other agencies and organizations, as well as the public; and
  • Identification of strategies to improve transportation services.

This comprehensive and strategic approach benefits the community and project managers by improving communication and collaboration between the agency and the community being served.

Current Mobility Management initiatives include:

Mobility Management Resource Guide The Resource Guide is a One-Stop-Shop to learn about various programs, services, and existing conditions that could improve mobility and transportation opportunities for people with disabilities and older adults throughout New York City. It can be used by a diverse audience, including community based organizations, city project managers, individuals with disabilities, older adults, caseworkers, and travel trainers.
