Statewide Mobility Network

The Statewide Mobility Network

The statewide mobility network includes state agencies, organizations and foundations who bring a vast range of knowledge and expertise to facilitate dialogues concerning transportation in the State of Oklahoma.  Collaboration among these agencies and advisors is a critical component to developing a more inclusive transportation structure. Coordinating the current services while avoiding duplication will help transportation in Oklahoma become a more efficient and accessible system.

Mobility Management Supports all State Agencies in Oklahoma. 

Here's how:

  • Healthcare Authority

    Sooneride/Soonercare: 

    • Individuals refuse to let us refer them to Soonerride- even when they are eligible because of past experiences with the service
    • Received reports of individuals are not being picked up after appointments
    • reports of individuals walking along the interstate home after not being picked up
    • Individuals are missing doctor appointments

    Mobility management can help assist abandoned patients by setting up transportation. We would like to work with Healthcare Authority and Modivcare to address complaints, improve transporation services and ensure a better service with both state agencies working together. 

  • Dept. of Health

    MM can help with communications and transportation access to health initiatives:

    • Community health resource information 
    • Vaccine locations
    • Health fairs
    • Hospital closing community support

    Health transportation concerns:

    • Hospitals- individuals get an ambulance ride in but no transportation home or for follow-up doctor appt.

    Mobility Management can help by setting up transportation and mobility projects around the healthcare initiatives in the community. Better access to services, information at events and a transportation specialist to assist with helping patients identify all transportation services.

  • Mental Health Services

    • Individuals suffering from isolation due to lack of transportation resources.
    • Access/transportation to treatment or therapy before it becomes a critical need.
    • Information to support the individuals needs before things get out of hand
    • MM's will also be trained in the Science of Hope

  • Dept. of Human Services

    Individuals need transportation to human service programs and resources. Here are a few other ways mobility management can help:

    • A social worker for transportation contact for indiviudals needing to investigate solutions
    • Mobility projects can be developed around the human service program to support ongoing transportation projects

  • Disabilities Concerns & Dept. of Rehabilitation Services

    Mobility management provides inclusive planning to ensure that we are effectively moving people and not just vehicles. Other areas mobility management helpes include:

    • ADA accessiblity
    • Availability of services
    • Reasonable modification 
    • Travel training
    • Fare funding and eligibility of services
    • Paratransit service procedures

  • Dept. of Corrections

    Need transportation resources for:

    • Visitors
    • including children
    • Volunteers

    Groceries

    *Special consideration of mobility needs for inmates with disabilities.

    To court appointments, probation officer meetings, groceries, medications, healthcare, employment and social services.


    Complications that make things worse:


    Arriving late or no-show to court, meetings with probation officers, counselors, and social workers due to lack of transportation

  • Workforce, Commerce & Employment

    Mobility management can explore and develop solutions around employment transportation needs. They also coordinate job fair transportation as well as provide information about transportation at these job fairs. 


    Other ways we need mobility management in Workforce:

    1. Individuals- need information on transportation resources
    2. Employers- need transportation collaboration with providers to ensure access to transportation for employees. 

  • Child and Youth Programs

    Child and parent transportation services and support.


    MM programs can help with:

    • Child Travel Training
    • Safe travel & unaccompanied youth
    • Youth transportation projects:
    • Kids programs (ride free programs during school year, after hours, etc.)
    • Children of incarcerated parents
    • Homeless youth transportation programs

  • Dept. of Public Safety

     Individuals who cannot obtain a driver's license or aging individuals who are no longer able to operate a personal vehicle. They need information about transportation resources and mobility management program supports. 

  • Veterans Services

    Supporting additional transportation services for Veterans who need transportation beyond medical trips to the VA.

  • Emergency Management Services

    Disaster recovery information and mobility support
