Upstate New York residents and communities face many mobility challenges. With restructuring of local economies and health services, many people travel long distances to work and health care. An aging population, particularly the growing number of people in their 80's, increases demand for individualized services. The most prevalent mobility challenge remains creating viable, affordable services for rural residents and under-served communities. Meanwhile, change is everywhere. Smartphone apps empower shared-use mobility services. Older mobility business models are on life support. We need to collaborate to create opportunities for change. In this spirit, three mobility events were developed by the National Center for Mobility Management, Shared Mobility Inc., Tompkins County, Cornell University, Ithaca-Tompkins Transportation Council, and a team of multi-modal mobility partners.

You are invited to the Mobility Solutions Summit, NCMM Design Thinking Workshop and TransportationCamp Ithaca during June 23-25, 2016 in Ithaca, NY.  The goal is to create synergy for creating innovative mobility services. While each event stands alone, they are interrelated. What you learn at the Summit or Design Thinking Workshop (on June 23-24) you can explore further at TransportationCamp (on June 25).
