What is a Mobility Manager?
A mobility manager is a resource person who offers information about transportation options available to people with disabilities, seniors, and veterans; identifies gaps in service; and helps implement new service where it is most needed. Mobility managers also provide ombudsman services to act as advocates and represent the interests and for individuals who have transportation mobility needs and issues. They do not provide transportation, but help create a “one-stop shop” where individuals can find solutions to their transportation challenges. If you’d like to use a mobility manger please PLAN AHEAD. If you need help getting from point A to B, it’s best to contact them a few days before you need to travel. Other services they promote have an application/interview process and may take more than a few days to finalize.
Connecticut currently has THREE mobility managers.
