accessHealthNews.net January 2022 Volume 8 | Issue No. 53 Mobility Management Certificate Program A focused approach to rural transportation coordination and healthy communities Mary Gordon HealthTran Director Missouri Rural Health Association Email: mary@morha.org R ural Missourians face transportation barriers that limit fullness of life and basic needs such as health, food, education, employment and social interaction. Because transportation is tangled, complicated and expensive, though identified as one of the top two barriers in communities across Missouri, it is not addressed. The purpose of this course is to provide Mobility Management skills, knowledge, and resources that will improve transportation access for Missourians who have the greatest need. Upon completion of the course the trainee will be able to identify their community's transportation resources and barriers, communicate with others using non-biased language, collaborate effectively, identify funding resources to assist consumers with transportation cost, and identify requirements and restrictions of funding for consumers. Additionally, trainees will create their own National, State, and Local Mobility Management Resources Toolkit focused on the trainee's community of service.
