Hub311 is a hybrid AV transit system and policy proposal to shorten travel gaps and improve access to resources and real-time information for the underserved population of New York City. We propose the placement of Hub311 station to provide an immediate actionable intervention for accessibility deserts within the urban landscape.

​

The Hub stations are placed as part of a new transit system. The fleet will provide the missing piece of transit between accessibility deserts and existing bus, subway and train stations - improving connectivity within the neighborhoods and creating a more active and accessible environment. The Hub311 design plans for the future. Placed on five on-street parking spots it blends into the existing sidewalk while maintaining a clear flow of traffic on existing roads.  Building on existing technology like LinkNYC, the Hub adds a transit stop for NYC AV fleets and a digital and physical interface that provides access to information and community resources.

​

Hub311 is a public amenity designed to preserve affordable neighborhoods by providing equal access. While, a car-free city is a long way to go, for now, we can look forward to an oasis of accessibility.
