Metrolinx mobility hubs
Metrolinx mobility hubs are locations with significant levels of planned transit service, as identified by Metrolinx in Ontario, Canada, under The Big Move regional transportation plan. A mobility hub consists of a major transit station and the immediate surrounding area, where different forms of transportation come together, serving as the origin, destination or transfer point for a significant amount of trips. It is also a concentrated point of employment, housing, and recreation, making them places of significant economic development and activity where office buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, government service and information centres, shopping malls and restaurants can be located.[1]
Mobility hubs in the GTHA
There are 51 mobility hubs in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) that have been identified and profiled by Metrolinx within an 800-metre radius around the transit station. Data has been collected to establish:
- Population and population density
- Employment and job density
- Demographics
- Personal income
- Housing
- Dwelling type and ownership
- People per household
- Travel behaviour
- Travel starting and ending at the hub
- Transportation mode share
- Transportation costs
- Car ownership
- Existing and planned transit service
Of these, Metrolinx has undertaken studies on seven of them that provide a plan for the design and conceptual vision of the mobility hub in the future.[2]
