| 摘要： | When John Andoh* was hired as CEO and ex-ecutive director of the Central Midlands Re-gional Transit Authority (The COMET) in 2018, the board said the system had become stagnant; ridership had started to plateau and there were several unmet needs regarding service offerings. So, Andoh set out to find innovative ways to integrate different mobility options to address food deserts, expand nighttime transit hours, connect people to employ- ment centers, provide first-and-last-mile connections and expand service options for seniors and people with disabilities. "That was the catalyst of what got us to start looking at how we could be more of a mobility manager," said Andoh. The COMET has addressed all these unmet needs by introducing new mobility options, implementing technology upgrades, pursuing discretionary funding and leveraging partnerships. The COMET can now seamlessly provide specialized trips for niche groups previously underserved by the traditional fixed route and paratransit system by integrating these various mobility services. |
