Overview
Mission
Movability is the transportation management association (tma) of central Texas, working with individuals and organizations to build the region around people, not cars.
What it reported doing in 2025
Membership and programs: the gogrant program provides micro-grants to small, distressed, customer-facing businesses to support sustainable mobility options which include the installation of bike racks and the purchase of transit passes. Get there central Texas provides commuters with information about carpool and vanpool matching, and alternative mobility options that are available to them. Tdm professional services provide custom transportation demand management, communications & marketing plans for employers seeking to encourage active commuting. Mobility camps offer curated commuting trips without the use of a car to familiarize participants with walking, biking, scooting and transit options available to them. Schoolpool provides micro-grants to k-8 schools to help them launch carpool, bikepool and walkpools in order to reduce car idling due to school pick-up and drop-off activities and improve regional air quality. Movepass provides small businesses and non-profits with support administering bulk transit pass purchasing programs for their employees. The mobility games is a month-long competition that encourages the public to not only try new mobility options but to use alternatives to driving alone more often. Movability provides regular incentives to encourage members to use alternative transportation solutions. Networking and educational events are provided throughout the year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
