Regional Coordinated Mobility Plan
The Regional Coordinated Plan is a Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan for the 8 counties in Region 5. The 8 counties in Region 5 are; Ashland, Crawford, Huron, Knox, Marion, Morrow, Richland and Seneca. This plan will be developed between 2025-2026. Each county will still have its local Coordinated Plan, however ODOT is switching gears to focus on regions rather than individual counties which will enable counties to collaborate on transportation services and make connections across county lines to better serve residents and give them access to out of county destinations.
The Region 5 Coordinated Transportation Planning process will begin in January 2025. It will combine all the established county Coordinated plans into one Regional Coordinated Plan. The Region 5 Mobility Planner, Lyndsie Martin, will work with the Mobility Managers in the region to gather information needed to begin the planning process. It is the purpose of this plan for local stakeholders to work collaboratively to do the following:
-
Identify available regional resources for transportation
-
Establish regional transportation challenges and needs
-
Create a regional plan for achieving shared goals
RCRPC is committed to working with Mobility Managers of Region 5 to identify and remove transportation barriers for all residents. Transportation is a critical component to quality of life. Transportation pro vides access to jobs, education, healthcare, human services and allows community members, including older adults and people with disabilities, to live independently and engage in community life.
