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 identified mobility hubs in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Of these, Metrolinx has undertaken studies on four of them that provide a plan for the design and conceptual vision of an area up to 800 metres around the transit station.[2]
