Social & Inclusive Mobility
Not everyone has equal access to transport. People in rural areas, and those too young, old, or disabled to drive, are often left behind as private car ownership declines and traditional bus services shrink. Left unaddressed, this widens the gap between those with transport options and those without.
We help design shared and community-led mobility schemes that reach the people at greatest risk of being left without options, from e-bikes and car clubs sited using equity-weighted criteria, to everyday infrastructure like bus shelters redesigned as mobility hubs. Getting this right takes genuine community engagement, not just technology.
The people transport planning overlooks most, those in rural areas, the young, the old, the disabled, are exactly the people shared mobility needs to be designed around first.
Questions we help you answer
- Which communities in our area are underserved by current transport options?
- What shared mobility schemes would actually work for a rural or low-density area?
- How do we design a scheme around equity and access, not just efficiency?
- How do we engage communities so a scheme reflects what they actually need?
- Could everyday infrastructure, like bus shelters, do more to connect our transport network?
- How do we make the case for funding a socially-driven mobility scheme?
