Planning For Transportation
Planning how you will get to your job may seem overwhelming. Luckily there are some cool resources in Ohio that can help you plan for a safe and reliable trip.
Mobility Managers and Travel Training
Mobility management is a statewide program that helps people with transportation challenges plan for their transportation needs. A “Mobility Manager” is a local transportation expert that can help you explore travel options that meet your needs. They can also help identify funding resources (how you will pay for the trip) and provide travel training. Travel training can be done one-on-one or in a group and helps a person learn how to schedule rides, understand how to pay, and find the best routes to and from work.
The map above divides Ohio into mobility management regions. Find your region and then explore the Gohio Mobility website. Click here to access the Gohio Mobility Website. This site has helpful resources and includes a list of Mobility Managers around the state. Who is your Mobility Manager?

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities
As an individual with a disability, you may qualify for employment support through Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (ODD). ODD helps you set a plan for employment and provides training and support so you can reach your job goals. The plan OOD uses is called the Individual Plan for Employment (IPE). That plan should include ideas on how you will get to your job and resources to help with transportation planning. OOD may also offer "specialized transportation assistance" to help you get to and from job related activities. Make sure to talk to your OOD counselor about your transportation needs.
