Mobility Hubs to Connect Communities Webinar and Workshop

On October 27, 2020, the Shared-Use Mobility Center hosted the “Mobility Hubs to Connect Communities “ webinar and workshop, the first in the Path to the Summit series. The virtual event had two-parts: first, a webinar featured presentations of mobility hubs projects led by non-profit organizations, a metropolitan planning organization, and city governments from the United States and Europe; second, attendees participated in breakout room sessions focused on mobility hubs in four different contexts: Regional, City, Community, and European. Each session was an educational and tactical discussion of lessons learned, key issues to address and opportunities to seize in Mobility Hub planning and implementation.
