Oklahoma House Bill 1688

Oklahoma HB1688 Effective November 1, 2020. Legislation creating the Advanced Mobility Pilot Program, which could further the state’s investment in emerging advanced transportation technologies, was signed into law by the governor on May 19. Sen. Micheal Bergstrom, R-Adair, was the author of Senate Bill 1688. The program allows for coordination between state government, community leaders and economic developers across the state to create jobs in emerging ground and aerial transportation technologies. Contingent upon available funds, the program will be housed under the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).

History of Mobility Management

The mobility management concept appears to have developed in the 1990s, following passage of the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) with its multi-model philosophy. At the same time, some transportation agencies were beginning to recognize that their fixed-route transit services were not a “one-size fits all” solution to community transportation needs. As a result, some forward-thinking agencies began to offer additional transportation services, such as carpool and van pooling, subscription bus services, special shuttles, and dial-a-ride services, among others. The report defined a “mobility manager” as a “transportation organization serving the general public that responds to and influences demands of the market by undertaking actions and supportive strategies, directly or in collaboration with others.

Define Mobility Management

Mobility management is an innovative approach for managing and delivering coordinated transportation services to customers, including older adults, people with disabilities, and individuals with lower incomes. Mobility management focuses on meeting individual customer needs through a wide range of transportation options and service providers. It also focuses on coordinating these services and providers to achieve a more efficient transportation service delivery system. 


Federal Transit Law (49 U.S. Code § 5302) defines mobility management as a capital project “consisting of short-range planning and management activities and projects for improving coordination 

among public transportation and other transportation service providers carried out by a recipient or subrecipient 

through an agreement entered into with a person, including a governmental entity, under this chapter (other than 

section 5309); but excluding operating public transportation services.”
