Strategic Mobility Hubs for sustainable urban development
Q-Park confirms that over 150 parking facilities have been awarded the Q-Park ’Mobility Hub’ label, signifying its role in multimodal transport integration and urban accessibility enhancement. The Mobility Hub label certifies that these parking facilities provide parking, charging, booking and sharing.
These Mobility Hubs are connected to the Q-Park Parking as a Smart Service (PaSS) Platform, enabling digital parking solutions for motorists, businesses, cities and mobility partners.
Our Mobility Hubs are all strategically located to support sustainable urban mobility. They integrate parking with essential services such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, pre-booking propositions which reduce search traffic, as well as car and bicycle sharing, and public transport is always within easy walking distance.
To date, more than 50 are equipped with our special Mobility Hub signage.
Sustainable Mobility Partner vision
Q-Park Mobility Hubs are the cornerstone of our Sustainable Mobility Partner (SMP) Programme. This initiative aligns with European and local mobility strategies to:
Improve accessibility to city centres.
Enhance liveability through reduced congestion.
Promote sustainability and modal shift.
Support urban equity and climate adaptation.
“Private vehicles remain part of a well-functioning city. However, we actively promote alternatives that contribute to a healthier urban environment,“ says Theo Thuis, Managing Director Innovations. “By transitioning from on-street to off-street parking, we help cities reclaim public space for greenery, culture, and active mobility.“
Alignment with Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)
Q-Park Mobility Hubs are designed to complement Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans and contribute to:
Safer and more inclusive urban environments.
Increased space for pedestrians, cyclists, and green infrastructure.
Climate resilience through water storage and reduced emissions.
Collaborative planning with municipalities.
Q-Park engages with city officials and civil servants early in the planning process to co-develop mobility solutions tailored to local needs. Throughout the seven Western European countries in which we operate, our Mobility Hubs are embedded within municipal mobility frameworks, serving as integral components rather than add-ons.
Digital ecosystem & traffic transformation
Our digital platform enables seamless pre-booking for motorists, retailers, event venues, and hospitality providers. As visitors can drive directly to their pre-booked parking space, inner-city search traffic becomes efficient destination traffic, improving traffic flow and accessibility.
EV charging & shared mobility services
Q-Park Mobility Hubs offer:
Extensive off-street EV charging infrastructure.
Integration with car-sharing and micromobility providers.
Direct access to public transport nodes.
These features empower users to make informed, sustainable travel choices.
