Mobility is the capability to freely and easily move or be moved.

Transportation is the means used to move objects or people from one point
to another.

Access is the means of entering or approaching an area.

The purpose of transportation and mobility is to gain access to

destinations, activities, services and goods. Thus, access is the ultimate
objective of all transportation. (UN Habitat)
