The most in-depth guidance yet on how to develop business cases for mobility hubs – particularly in more rural areas – has been published by England’s Economic Heartland.
The guidance was developed with support from the charity CoMoUK and input from EEH’s partner authorities at Milton Keynes Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Hertfordshire County Council.
It provides practical advice on developing the strategic, economic and financial cases for mobility hubs, including consideration of optioneering, appraisal and logic mapping. The guidance, which has received positive feedback from DfT colleagues, is framed throughout by three scenarios in which mobility hubs could be created – rural village, rural station and a peri-urban environment.
