Equiticity - Bronzeville Mobility Hub
The RTA is supporting Equiticity, an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3), with advancing development of a community mobility center in Bronzeville, near the 51st Street Green Line station. The RTA will assist with identifying community perceptions of existing public transit; with understanding transportation’s impact on environment & personal wellbeing; with gauging the receptivity to climate-friendly mobility modes, gauging the demand for shared bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters & e-vehicles, and with obtaining feedback on design and implementation of the hub and its services.
This project kicked off in July 2024 with existing conditions work and preparation for community engagement events. In Fall 2024, the project team held successful community engagement events and concluded existing conditions research. RTA staff are currently finalizing the existing conditions report and the project's site selection and feasibility analysis phase will begin in the first quarter of 2025.
