REinventing MLS
Clients looking for transportation options? Use MobilityScore in connectMLS!
Posted by on March 28, 2019
It was one of the most-requested additions for connectMLS… and now it’s live!
You can use MobilityScore by TransitScreen to help clients understand the nearby transportation options for a listing they’re interested in and choose the best fit with mobility in mind.
The MobilityScore tool displays an address’ nearby transportation options on all MRED listings, evaluating the ease of mobility on a 1-100 scale. Scores gauge public transit options as well as available carsharing, bikesharing, and hailed ridesharing services. The result is an easy-to-understand measure of transportation access that can play a major factor in home-buying decisions.
This feature is available on the connectMLS Modern View in two places:
- Additional Information
- “General” section of Listing Details
Along with the numerical score, each listing includes a rating that ranges from “minimal” to “excellent” mobility and a detailed list of its available transportation options (bus, train, carshare, etc). Just click on the MobilityScore to see the full breakdown.
MobilityScore joins a diverse list of more than 20 product and service offerings in connectMLS, contributing to MRED’s goal of providing everything you need to succeed.
Even more connectMLS enhancements are coming, and we’re always open to feedback on how to improve our current offerings. Have suggestions or questions? Contact the MRED Help Desk at 630-955-2755 or help.desk@MREDLLC.com

Hi Karen, thanks for the comment!
MobilityScore determines the score based on public transit options as well as available carsharing, bikesharing, and hailed ridesharing services.
If you email help.desk@mredllc.com, we can check to make sure your listing is mapping correctly.
Can this mobility score be omitted from a listing?
Hi Christine, thanks for the comment!
At this time, MobilityScore cannot be omitted from a listing.
Feel free to email us at help.desk@mredllc.com if you feel a score is incorrect and we can look into the specific listing further.
The question mark by the Mobility score, can it be omitted? Some agents feel it looks terrible on the listing.
Hi Kathy, thanks for reading – and for your comment!
Your feedback has been passed along to management. We value your input and we always look forward to serving you well.
I vote to giving the listing broker the ability to toggle ON/OFF this feature.
