Similar in structure to the city Summits, the countywide Mobility Summit was a three-hour event with the majority of the program scheduled for input and discussion sessions. Prior to the discussion sessions the results of the community outreach were shared and possible strategies that had been proposed by the community as well as other strategies were presented. With nearly 200 people RSVP’d to attend, five sub-groups were planned for the discussion sessions. Based on the expected attendance, the groups were generally broken down by geography with one group specifically for people with disabilities. Attendees decided which discussion group they wanted to attend. The discussion sessions ranged in size from half a dozen to over 30 individuals (actual attendance was approximately 130).The groups were professionally facilitated and had note-takers using flipcharts.The discussion sessions were to focus upon and discuss the two highest priorities identified countywide: Traveling to medical appointments and Traveling to Daily Activities. They had been given seven general categories of strategies and asked to prioritize which type of strategies best addressed the top challenges. After the lunch break, the results of the morning discussion sessions were presented and discussed further.
