Micromobility Hub: Infrastructure Investment for Micromobility and Active Travel
To ensure micromobility remains a viable form of travel, the infrastructure in many cities and towns needs to be adapted to encourage ongoing adoption. Active travel needs to be integrated with other transport modes to truly maximise adoption including in rural areas. This requires novel business models, digital innovations, new infrastructure, and behavioural changes. In this webinar we will be joined by Loran Finlayson, CoMoUK and two, yet to be confirmed speakers, to discuss these requirements and ultimately gain insight to inform investment decisions and empower people to make the right travel choices.
