Session 1: Creating connections

By bringing together different types of transport, mobility hub schemes provide a focal point for communities to access useful facilities, shared mobility and local information.

Keynote: A mobility vision for a connected city

Mobility hubs play a key role in realising Bristol City Council’s vision of creating a well-connected city that enables people to move around efficiently with increased transport options that are accessible and inclusive, while also helping achieve net zero by 2030.

Bristol City Council speakers (TBC)

Building a mobility hub network

West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WECA) is delivering one of the biggest mobility hub networks in the UK. Installed across the West of England as part of the Future Transport Zone (FTZ) initiative, the £28m programme is funded by the Department for Transport (DfT). It aims to modernise and integrate sustainable transport across South Gloucestershire and North Bristol.

The presentation will cover issues such as:

Delivering a consistent mobility hub design
Working in a multi-partner environment
Developing regional wayfinding for mobility hubs
Working with local artists and residents/user communities to give a local look and feel to mobility hubs.

Amanda Edmondson, Mobility Hubs Project Manager, Future Transport Zones (FTZ), West of England Combined Authority

Session 2: A map of the mobility world

Mobility hubs have moved from being a policy ambition into becoming facilities providing space for a modal transfer in the real world.

Local Travel Points: Mobility hubs in the West Midlands

A look at the design, implementation and operation of a mobility hub network created by Transport for West Midlands. The Local Travel Points are being rolled out at key locations including high streets, rail and bus stations, housing developments and community centres.

Presenters will include:

Transport for West Midlands speaker (INVITED)
Robert Davis, Managing Director, Trueform
Habib Khan, Managing Director, Meristem Design

Transforming rural bus shelters into modular mobility hubs

A DfT/Innovate-UK Transport Decarbonisation Demonstrators Programme project that aims to enhance placemaking and improve active travel connections whilst addressing the specific needs of various groups. By adopting the right strategies, rural infrastructure can support net zero targets and enhance travel experiences for commuters.

Dominic Scholfield, Mobility Team Leader, Cenex, Clive Hartley, Founder, Quarterre Studio, and Morag Haddow, Transport Policy Officer, East Lothian Council (invited)

Session 3a:
Operating and evolving Mobility Hubs

As mobility hubs become embedded in the transport landscape, attention turns to how they operate day to day, how they serve diverse users, and how they can adapt to evolving community needs.

This session explores the practical realities of managing hubs – from integrating real-time data and coordinating services to ensuring safety, accessibility, and a positive user experience. We'll examine how hubs can evolve to reflect changing patterns of use, support dynamic activities like night-time economies or pop-up services, and continue to deliver value over time.

Discussion points include:

Selecting the right mix of mobility services
Real-time data integration and responsive operations
Customer service, accessibility, and behavioural insights
Tackling operational challenges: safety, maintenance, anti-social behaviour
Maximising flexible space: temporary and pop-up uses
Lessons learned from operating mobility hubs in diverse contexts

Session 3b:
Game On – Designing rural mobility systems

An interactive role-playing workshop devised and led by Dominic Scholfield, Mobility Team Leader at Cenex

In this gamified, hands-on workshop, participants take on the roles of key stakeholders working to design an integrated rural mobility network for a fictional region. Each round table becomes a local taskforce, tasked with solving access challenges, coordinating multiple transport modes, and deciding where and how to deploy mobility hubs as interchange points.

Armed with maps and role cards, players will need to negotiate priorities, balance trade-offs, and find creative solutions to support rural connectivity, accessibility, and decarbonisation goals.

Key outcomes for participants:

A deeper appreciation of the complexity of rural mobility challenges
Insight into the potential of mobility hubs as enablers of integrated rural transport
An engaging opportunity to collaborate, debate, and learn through play.

Session 4: The business of mobility

A look at the roles of the public sector, commercial property owners, developers, passenger transport operators, parking providers, shared mobility specialists, logistics companies and electric vehicle chargepoint operators in delivering mobility hubs.

Making the case for investment in hubs

England’s Economic Heartland facilitated a 'triage investment' workshop with KPMG to bring together both EEH authority partners, commercial mobility hub developers and private capital to discuss mobility hubs.

Trevor Brennan, Project Lead, England’s Economic Heartland

Ancoats: An urban mobility hub

A Manchester City Council project managed by APCOA that provides parking for residents and visitors, alongside sustainable transport options in a community setting. The hub also space for 150 bicycles, car share vehicles, EV charging, parcel delivery hub, café, store and new public realm.

Adam Richards, Head of Commercial Asset Management, APCOA

PANEL: Where next for mobility hubs?

A discussion about how to plan, fund and implement effective mobility hub networks. Speakers and delegates will explore how mobility hubs will evolve, with an emphasis on making them commercially and environmentally sustainable services.

Ideas and themes discussed in this session will be the basis for the programme of Mobility Hubs 2026.
