MORPC worked with nine Central Ohio counties to develop a transit coordinated plan for the ODOT Human Service Transportation Coordination Region 6 – the Regional Mobility Plan.

The Regional Mobility Plan identifies local and regional transportation needs of people with disabilities, older adults, and those with lower incomes. MORPC continues to work with partners towards the plan’s identified goals and strategies intended to meeting mobility needs and prioritizing transportation services and projects for funding and implementation. A secondary document will be released in early 2023 with benchmark reporting and transit coordination updates.

Goals for the Regional Mobility Plan:

Identify community resources for transportation and mobility
Understand the gaps and unmet needs within those resources
Determine the approach to addressing those gaps and needs

The Regional Mobility Plan applies to the area within the blue boundary.

Surveys

Transportation User Survey

The transportation user survey was designed to collect input regarding travel experience from residents within MORPC’s 15-county area of interest. The survey includes questions related to mode choice and the physical environment.

The survey was also available in Spanish and Somali.

Transportation Provider Survey

The transportation provider survey was used to collect provider information to support future efficiency and connectivity improvement initiatives. It will also be used to build the database for Gohio Mobility — a specialized transportation search tool for designed to connect older adults, people with disabilities, and people with low income to transportation services for any trip purpose and need. The tool will be available to the public in 2022.

Public Meetings

Four virtual public meetings were held on the Regional Mobility Plan shortly after the kick-off of the planning process. Anyone within the MORPC’s 15-county area of interest is encouraged to watch the video of one of the meetings below.

Before being finalized, the Regional Mobility Plan included additional opportunities for members of the public to offer feedback on the plan. Members of the public were encouraged to attend an online presentation of the draft plan, in coordination with the plan’s public comment period through Dec. 19, 2021, that included a question and comment opportunity. These meetings took place on Dec. 8 and 9, 2021. A recording of the second presentation is below.

The Regional Mobility Plan was updated May, 2022.
