About Us

Community Oriented Development

 
 

Transportation coordination, also known as mobility management, involves coordinating human service agencies needs and the needs of the individual's they serve. Communities seeking to better the quality of lives of marginalized population's often find that transportation is a barrier to gainful employment, on the job training, healthcare access or other program services for their residents or visitors. 

At Trans4Mind, we hold the belief that transportation is the circulatory system of a community. In order to improve lives and lift individuals out of poverty, access to transportation is vital. Individuals seeking to lead a more prosperous and self-sufficient lifestyle require connection in their community. Therefore, at Trans4Mind, we seek to advise and consult on the possibilities that may be afforded to communities who invest in transportation projects and programs with the end-user in mind. We do this in collaboration with community stakeholders that provide and coordinate transportation for mobility. 

By gaining insight on current practices and devising innovative solutions, we meet the needs of both the end-user and the provider. Trans4Mind assists agencies and communities understand the importance of putting their passenger's needs at the forefront. This effort is known as Mobility Management and requires mobility managers to work along side various local and state human service agencies in advocating for the transportation that will improve the life of the passenger either directly or indirectly, while also increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of passenger transportation for providers and stakeholders. 

At Trans4Mind, our specialty is in seeking solutions by coordinating community stakeholders and introducing innovative solutions that are user-friendly and beneficial for both passengers and providers of transportation.
