The mobility management project provides a knowledgeable, compassionate strategy for transit-dependent seniors, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers to access transportation through waukesha county's transportation system. The project includes training in public transit, written and internet resources about available transportation services, outreach to transit-dependent individuals and groups, and one-on-one support for riders and their family caregivers. The availability of new and existing transportation services in waukesha county are shared by printing and distributing find-a-ride network waukesha county resource guides and updating and promoting the informational website for find-a-ride network. Travel coordination assistance is provided through telephone and in-person consultations for eras clients, caregivers, and seniors and adults with disabilities whose unmet needs extend beyond eras volunteer driver program and find a ride network van service.
