The SocialNew Mobility Hub aims to address challenges related to mobility, reduce reliance on private car use, decrease environmental impacts, and improve access to transport for all residents.
Background
Lincoln Settlement, like many communities, faced issues such as limited public transport connectivity, social isolation of certain groups (including elderly and low-income residents), and the need for greener travel alternatives. In response, HEAG created the hub as a community-centered project to foster more equitable and environmentally friendly mobility options.

The hub offers a range of services designed to promote sustainable mobility. These include:

Additional Features
The new center also offers pick-up and drop-off services within a certain radius, advises up to 8,000 potential customers, and has partnered with local businesses to provide discounts and incentives for using electric vehicles. The electric vehicles available at the center are designed for both personal and commercial use and are charged using renewable energy sources.
Moreover, the center provides training for customers on how to operate and maintain the electric vehicles, and it is equipped with a fleet of electric vehicles. The center is open seven days a week, from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and offers a variety of mobility solutions, including scooters and bicycles. Additionally, a team of experts is available to provide advice on the best mobility solutions for individual needs.
In essence, HEAG’s SocialNew Mobility Hub serves as a focal point in Lincoln Settlement for pioneering sustainable, shared, and socially-conscious transport solutions aimed at creating a greener and more connected community.
