A new report, Governance Structures of Mobility Hubs, has been published on the crucial role of governance and examines how to design effective frameworks for the planning, implementation and operation of mobility hubs for urban planners, transport managers and policy makers.
The role of governance in mobility hubs
The governance of mobility hubs encompasses the policies, regulations, stakeholder roles and decision-making processes that shape their development and operation. Effective governance ensures seamless integration into existing transport systems through collaboration between public authorities, private mobility providers and local communities.
Key governance approaches
- Regulation: Governments take full ownership and define the characteristics and operation of hubs through regulatory frameworks.
- Stimulation: Development is encouraged through incentives and the removal of barriers, allowing for market-driven solutions.
- Self-regulation: Cities allow mobility providers to develop hubs independently, with minimal government intervention.
The importance of a well-defined approach
The report highlights that a clear governance approach is essential for effective stakeholder coordination and successful implementation of mobility hubs. It provides a decision-making framework to help stakeholders implement socially and environmentally equitable mobility solutions.
This report provides valuable insights into the governance structures necessary for the successful integration of mobility hubs in the Mediterranean region and beyond. By serving as a practical guide for stakeholders, the GREENMO project contributes to the development of greener, more efficient and inclusive mobility systems.
