Virtual Workshop Resources – Human Services Transportation: Making Mobility as a Service Universal

Thursday, June 4 | 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm CDT

Access the Virtual Workshop Recording here.

This panel discussion will look at opportunities for data integration around human service transportation and larger Mobility Management and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) initiatives. From policy to practice, experts in the field will discuss the needs, opportunities, and strategies for creating an integrated mobility system that connects human service transportation to public transit. Following the plenary discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss policy strategies that could be adopted at either a city, state, or federal level to encourage data sharing and integration across public and private sectors.
