Today, over 15 million Americans are affected by transportation insecurity, a mobility challenge that prevents people from reaching their essential needs. This includes medical care, employment, education, and more.
By partnering with local communities and sponsors to forge Transportation Assistance Hubs, our Feonix family is striving to close the transportation gap one ride at a time.
Nationwide, transportation consistently ranks as one of the top three challenges facing disadvantaged and low-income communities. Despite this, no programs have established a safety net for mobility. While social support covers childcare, employment, food, healthcare, and other essential needs, accessing these services is an overlooked first step.
Through free and low-cost rides, our Transportation Assistance Hubs empower community members with the peace of mind that comes with reliable transportation.
Each Transportation Assistance Hub is supported by a:
Manages the hub while coordinating with transportation providers, engaging with sponsors, and working alongside community leaders to ensure the program’s sustained success.
Facilitates the seamless operability of our Mobility as a Service solution through personalized passenger assistance and budgeting, agency support, tech coordination, and more.
Secures funding through philanthropic partnerships, grants, donor campaigns, and applications for local, state, and federal sources.
Each year, insufficient transportation results in missed or delayed medical appointments for approximately 5.8 million Americans, over one million of which are children. As a result, quality of life declines while the over $150B incurred by the healthcare industry from missed appointments continues to rise.
Additionally, over 10% of individuals with disabilities cite transportation as an employment barrier. Meanwhile, two-thirds of individuals served by Feeding America say they are faced with a choice between food and transportation.
By establishing Transportation Assistance Hubs in rural and urban communities alike, our Feonix family is committed to breaking down the transportation barrier keeping community members from essential healthcare, employment, food, and more.
To make meaningful improvements, garner greater community support, and demonstrate the key impact of our Transportation Assistance Hubs, we collect and evaluate key metrics such as the number of passengers served, trip purpose, passenger satisfaction, and beyond. Our data-driven approach also provides a strong baseline of justification for additional funding.
Our Transportation Assistance Hubs at Feonix lean on years of demonstrated success in a diverse range of communities throughout nine states, delivering life-changing support to seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities, families experiencing poverty, and beyond. With each additional hub, we use the lessons learned along the way to make an even greater impact.
We encourage sponsoring agencies, companies, and foundations to reach out for information and inquiries about our Transportation Assistance Hubs at Feonix. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by transportation insecurity.
