Mobility hubs

Mobility hubs are busy places where travellers arrive and depart by different modes of transport, such as bicycle, car, train, or plane. Mobility hubs help urban areas to be accessible and liveable, and enable people to easily switch transport mode to continue their journey.

Our mobility hubs offer sustainable urban solutions for accessibility and liveability:

• enabling passenger cars, motor scooters and bicycles to park off-street;

• enabling electric vehicles (cars and bicycles) to charge off-street;

• transforming search traffic to destination traffic with pre-booking options;

• embracing (micro-)mobility providers with share concepts in our assets.

In addition, mobility hubs offer urban solutions for:

• accessibility, liveability, sustainability and mobility equality;

• transforming search traffic into destination traffic;

• enable better manage kerbside parking.

Some mobility hubs also offer additional amenities such as urban logistic services, locker walls, retail and/or spaces for meetings and work.

By offering safe and secure parking at mobility hubs we encourage people to make all or part of their journey by sustainable transport. Travellers can choose to continue their journey by means of public transport or ride a (shared) bicycle to their final destination.

Results

In 2024, we identified more than 100 parking facilities in our portfolio which qualify as a Q-Park Mobility Hub and we also designed a specific Q-Park Mobility Hub house style. This clear signage ensures our mobility hubs are easily recognisable for motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, local authorities and mobility partners.

Our proximity to alternative mobility options remained stable in 2024, and we have 215 operated parking facilities registered at or near major public transport stations.

Micromobility

By moving car parking from on-street to off-street, cities free up public space for pedestrians and cyclists. Many cities and towns now also wish to move bicycle parking off the streets too. We include bicycle parking in our renovation and new build plans wherever feasible.

There are clear advantages to both municipalities and cyclists in moving bicycle parking off-street, including:

• public space becomes available for pedestrians, markets and other street activities;

• dry and secure bicycle parking for cyclists with optional lockers for helmets and batteries;

• e-charging facilities for e-bicycles.

Results

We now have 83 operated parking facilities offering bicycle parking (2023: 75).
