Journey Hubs

Working with the Workforce Mobility Project, East Lothian Council has been identifying the main bus stops which form focal points for sustainable transport in our towns and villages. This work will be published soon, and following on from this we have secured additional funding from Innovate UK to work with communities to design modular infrastructure to support public transport and local places.

The project will be managed by consultancy, Cenex, with support from Quarterre, and the key deliverables will be a set of designs for innovative bus shelters with additional modular elements that can be 'bolted on'. In addition, the project will produce estimates of the benefits of rolling these shelters out, both likely emissions savings and social benefits from the placemaking opportunity they present. These will be included in a guide for other local authorities on best practice for replicating the approach.
