5 Big Moves #3: Mobility Hubs
Description
Mobility Hubs are places of connectivity where different travel options – walking, biking, transit, and shared mobility – come together. They provide an integrated suite of mobility services, amenities, and supporting technologies to better connect high–frequency transit to an individual's origin of destination. A mobility hub can span one, two, or a few miles to provide on–demand travel choice for short trips around a community.
The 2021 Regional Plan could include a network of "right–sized" Mobility Hubs near major residential, job, and activity centers. The proposed network includes our region's urban core and other Mobility Hubs that were identified based on land use and employment characteristics, travel patterns, and demographics. Each Mobility Hub would make it easy to connect to and from Transit Leap services by offering on–demand Flexible Fleet choices.
Mobility Hubs also integrate with Complete Corridors to ensure walking and biking are safe experiences while prioritizing pooled ride options over single–occupant vehicles. By 2050, it is anticipated that the Mobility Hub network could serve approximately half of the region's population and more than two–thirds of the region's jobs. Additionally, approximately 60% of low–income households, half of all seniors, and more than half of all minority residents would have access to Mobility Hub services and amenities.
Projects that fall within Mobility Hubs will be evaluated against SANDAG 2021 Regional Transportation Plan goals and objectives.
