Appendix C: Funding and Implementation Plan SHSHORT RANG COUNT <br /> HIRE A MOBILITY MANAGER <br /> Medium Term <br /> Background: Orange County currently has a Mobility Manager role that is run through the Department of Aging and focuses solely on <br /> outreach to older adults and assisting with their transportation. However, Orange County could use a Mobility Manager that covers on- <br /> demand services, in addition to the role within the Department of Aging. <br /> Strategy Overview: Create a new Mobility Manager position that has a wider focus, one covering the management of all information and <br /> travel training needs for on-demand services. This person would oversee the application process for on-demand services and would be the <br /> primary contact for anything on-demand related in Orange County. This role could continue to be funded through 5310 grant funds, but <br /> the funds from this grant do not sufficiently cover the cost of an increased role. Other grants could provide the necessary funding to <br /> implement this new position. <br /> Funding Sources: NCDOT Mobility Management Funds <br /> Implementation Steps: <br /> 1. Grant application: NCDOT Mobility Management Funds <br /> 2. Prepare for hiring process so funds can be used immediately upon start of grant <br /> 3. Hire for Mobility Manager position <br /> 4.
