Client(s): Feonix Mobility Rising
Funder: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
Need:
Many people in Washtenaw County have mobility barriers that make it difficult for them to go where they need to go, including to medical appointments. This has a serious effect on their health and overall wellbeing. The Washtenaw County Transportation Assistance Hub will work to overcome mobility barriers to allow equitable access for all.
CHRT’s role:
CHRT will work with Feonix Mobility Rising to establish the Transportation Assistance Hub and Transportation Task Force in Washtenaw County. CHRT will:
- Liaise with potential transportation referral sources to educate them on the Transportation Assistance Hub.
- Work with Feonix’s Mobility Navigator on a workflow for supporting riders with other social needs–this may include best practices for assessment, data collection, needs analysis, communication with referral services, establishing a closed loop communication back to the client and/or the initial referring partner on the status of the client’s transportation and other needs (including addressing challenges to accessing Non-Emergency Medical Transportation benefits, if applicable).
- Participate in the Transportation Task Force (TTF).
- Help define the role of the TTF, with a specific goal of keeping the TTF distinct from the Mobility Leadership Circle–this will include consideration of a role for the TTF to be involved in sustainability planning and fiscal strategy.
- Assist with designing and running feedback sessions.
- Review assessment tools in use and provide feedback on what kind of outcomes reporting is possible and identify gaps in the data that will be collected.
- Communicate with Washtenaw County and advise Feonix on reporting requirements for their Washtenaw County grant.
