Mobility Management

NYC DOT’s Mobility Management Program (MMP) coordinates and improves transportation opportunities for:

  • People with disabilities,
  • Older adults,
  • Individuals with limited English proficient, and
  • Low income populations.

This involves several methods, including:

  • Developing resources and tools for NYC DOT staff and the community;
  • Coordinating efforts within NYC DOT and the public; and
  • Identifying strategies to improve transportation services.

This comprehensive approach benefits the community by improving communication and collaboration.

Access to Independence

Access to Independence is a program that helps people with disabilities and older adults learn about ways to get around the city more easily. It does this through dynamic events that share information about accessible transportation. Explore the resources below to learn more.
