Mobility Management: finding solutions and overcoming barriers

MOUNT VERNON — Joe Porter is good at keeping secrets, but there is one he does not mind sharing. In fact, he wants to shout it from the rooftop.

The secret is the concept of mobility management: managing and delivering coordinated transportation services to customers, including older adults, people with disabilities or medical conditions, and those with lower incomes.

As the county’s mobility manager, Porter works to define mobility barriers and then find resources to overcome those barriers.
