Sanford Mobility Hub Study
About
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is studying options for mobility hubs in several communities, including Sanford, as part of the S-Line Project. The goal for the study is to understand the types of mobility hub services and amenities that would best serve Sanford, and to identify potential locations for a mobility hub in Sanford.
What is a mobility hub?
A mobility hub is a place of connectivity and accessibility where different travel options come together, offering an integrated suite of mobility services, amenities, and supporting technologies.
Typically, mobility hubs are designed around transit services, such as bus service or passenger rail. Example options within a hub could include:
- rail platforms
- bicycle and scooter rental
- bus stop and shelter
- electric vehicle charging
- a mini park or plaza waiting area
- ride hail services (such as Via, Uber, or Lyft)
- and many other potential features!
