Movability to explore solutions for workplace transportation in Austin
Wednesday, April 30, 2025 by Chad Swiatecki
Movability will host an event titled “Workforce Mobility Solutions for a Changing Austin” on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Indeed Tower. The event aims to bring together business leaders, policymakers, and transportation experts to discuss solutions around mobility issues tied to workforce management. Topics will include: transportation demand management, employer-led commuting initiatives and innovative approaches to easing congestion and improving the commuting experience. Movability supports employers and individuals in Central Texas with customized mobility solutions that reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. Through initiatives such as SchoolPool, which helps families organize carpools to school, and Mobility Camps that promote alternative commuting methods, the organization works to ease traffic congestion, improve air quality, and support economic vitality. Registration for the event is available online.
