What?
L.A. and Long Beach hope that Mobility Hubs will provide convenient and inventive physical spaces at existing Metro Rail stations designed to integrate a suite of mobility services and real-time trip planning information with the regional transit system.
A $13M demonstration project in 12 locations will serve as a pilot that will inform implementation of permanent Mobility Hub locations across the cities.
The Mobility Hubs Project aims to provide individuals with mobility choices to accommodate seamless trips to and from transit to employment, education, and major activity centers.
Takeaway
L.A. chose to build an innovative approach that integrates tech, digital services and infrastructure at full scale instead of relying on just a design process for residents to learn about the innovation.
