Foundation laid at local levels for mobility networks

Conforming to that premise that responsive, efficient public transportation systems should be begin at the ground level,  ITD recently unveiled a Local Mobility Management Network.

The network is part of Idaho’s Mobility and Access Pathway (IMAP), a new management strategy for growing the state’s public transportation network, that was unveiled April 30 during a three-day conference in Boise.

The mobility management strategy is “an institutional state of mind that emphasizes moving people instead of the mode of transportation,” according to the Local Mobility Management Network design supplement.

“A mobility manager is a transportation organization serving the public that responds to and influences the demand of the market by undertaking actions and supportive strategies, directly of in collaboration with others, to provide a full range of options to the single-occupant automobile,”

The mobility management network is based on three levels, explains Randy Kyrias, administrator of the Division of Public Transportation.

  1. Local Mobility Management (LMM) networks: The networks are the foundation of the mobility management network. They exist and develop by virtue of the individuals, stakeholders and local leadership that establish, coordinate and provide mobility management services within a “meaningful” service area. The service area will extend through a geographic location that intersects with the neighboring mobility network.

  2. ITD District Mobility Management (DMM) networks: LMM Networks, aggregated at the ITD district level, collectively become the ITD district network. An analysis of the ITD DMM Network informs and supports coordination efforts and identifies opportunities and needs for connectivity within the ITD District Network and at its borders.

  3. Statewide Mobility Management (SMM) consolidated network: The DMM networks, aggregated at the state level, comprise the consolidated network. It is through that analysis of the SMM consolidated network at the local, ITD District and state level that the basis of the Statewide Mobility Management (Public Transportation) plan – a five- to 10-year planning and budget schedule – is generated, presenting the long-term vision and proposals for establishing intra- and inter-state connectivity amongst regional systems.

Under the Local Mobility Management Network, each of ITD’s six administrative districts is further divided into two or three smaller units. District 5 is divided into four units.
