What is a Mobility Hub?

A Mobility Hub is a place where people can connect to multiple modes of transportation to make their trip as safe, convenient, and reliable as possible. Mobility Hubs will create a network of locations that provide residents and visitors with transportation choices that can reduce the amount of single occupancy vehicle trips. Mobility Hubs are a type of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategy.

What is TDM?

Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs provide residents, employees, and visitors with information and incentives to use alternative transportation modes instead of  driving alone. TDMs encourage a more efficient use of the transportation system, reduce congestion, system costs and automobile use, and increase multi-modal trips. TDM is a cost-effective way to increase transportation system capacity while also improving workforce recruitment/retention, environmental, public health, and transportation safety conditions.

 

 

 

What is a TMA?

A Transportation Management Association (TMA) is an organized group that uses TDM strategies to help the movement of people and goods in an area. TMAs vary in size, organization, membership, and services offered, but their goal is to allow businesses to pool  resources to support commuter transportation strategies. Funding for TMAs is usually through member dues with supporting funds through federal/regional grants and local agencies.  The TMA Plan will include an operations plan for a new organization to assist and partner with the business community in TDM efforts.

Individual stakeholder outreach is ongoing. A draft ordinance and TMA framework is anticipated when the pilot phase concludes.
