Apex Mobility Hub Study
Apex Mobility Hub Study
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), along with the Town of Apex, is studying options for a future mobility hub along the "S-Line" railroad in Apex. The goals of the feasibility study are to identify a potential location for a mobility hub, to understand the types of mobility hub services and amenities that would best serve the Town, and to determine a cost estimate for future implementation. There is currently no funding for design or construction, but this study would inform future next steps. This website will be updated with information about the mobility hub project in Apex, including opportunities for community input.
NCDOT is working on similar mobility hub projects along the S-Line railroad corridor from Sanford to Norlina. Visit NCDOT's website for an overview of their mobility hub work along the S-Line: NCDOT: S-Line Mobility Hubs.
What is a mobility hub?
Mobility hubs are a place of connectivity with regional and local multimodal transportation options, offering integrated facilities, amenities, technologies, and services. They offer choices to get you where you need to go, making it easier to transfer from one form of travel (like walking, biking, or using a scooter) to another (like carpooling, taking Uber/Lyft, or using a bus or shuttle). Typically, mobility hubs are designed around transit services, such as bus service or passenger rail. The Apex Mobility Hub will be designed to serve existing local and regional bus service and potential future passenger rail service along the railroad running parallel to Salem Street, through downtown Apex (called the S-Line).
Features a hub could include:
Rail platforms (to serve potential future passenger rail)
Parking
Bus stop and shelter
Bicycle share
Electric vehicle charging
Public space like a mini park or plaza
Restrooms
Much more!
