NCMM - Mobility Management Connections Webinar: Youth On the Move: Transportation Advocacy & Mobility Management
Join us to learn about "Pathways to Progress: Youth Advocacy in Mobility Management", a guide for mobility management and youth transportation!
The importance of youth engagement in transit advocacy cannot be overstated. Today's youth are the future of transit planning and usage, making it essential to involve them in advocacy efforts from a young age. By engaging young transit advocates, mobility managers can foster innovative perspectives, develop career readiness skills, and empower young disabled individuals to advocate for themselves. Addressing accessibility issues not only provides disabled youth with access to employment opportunities but also promotes community integration crucial for social development. The guide's co-authors, drawing from personal experiences, highlight the accessibility challenges faced by disabled individuals and propose solutions that align with existing regulations. Enforcing these solutions, particularly with the involvement of youth, can be a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and accessible transit system. Centering the voices of those directly impacted by these challenges is key to developing effective solutions, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and inclusivity in transit advocacy efforts.
