What is Mobility Direct?
Recognizing that a fully in-person model may not be the best approach for all agencies, MTM Transit took our comprehensive assessment process and developed a state-of-the-art technology solution that automates the eligibility certification process. Through this platform, MTM Transit offers varying levels of support to help your agency achieve impartial ADA eligibility determinations and compliance–with or without the cost of an in-person team. Dependent on your needs, the platform also offers varying levels of conditional and unconditional certification.
There is no other software on the market like Mobility Direct, which was designed specifically for ADA paratransit certification. While there are other platforms that have features that could potentially enable an eligibility process, these platforms serve as more of a simple CRM for eligibility data, with very limited customization and ability to actually manage a true ADA eligibility process. MTM Transit offers the only ADA eligibility certification technology platform of its kind that ensures fair and appropriate decisions, reduces your administrative workload and paratransit costs, and helps eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse of paratransit services.

Our platform leverages MTM Transit’s proprietary workflow to guide users through the primary steps of the eligibility process. From initial application intake, to making eligibility decisions and delivering notifications, to ensuring compliance with ADA requirements and reporting, our user-friendly platform creates an intuitive, automated eligibility process for transit agencies of all sizes.
