Governance structure of mobility hubs – How to integrate mobility hubs into the MED living areas?
This report analyses governance models for mobility hubs in the Mediterranean region, where car dependency, congestion, and fragmented policies hinder sustainable mobility. It proposes flexible frameworks combining regulation, stimulation, and self-regulation, and offers guidance on ownership, stakeholder collaboration, and decision-making to enable inclusive, efficient, and transferable mobility solutions.

Issues addressed
The report addresses the challenge of governing and implementing mobility hubs in the Mediterranean region, where congestion, pollution, weak public transport, and car dependency prevail. Unlike Northern Europe, MED area lacks structured frameworks and face fragmented policies, informal transport, seasonal fluctuations, and inadequate infrastructure. The report highlights the importance of governance modelsu2014balancing regulation, stimulation, and self-regulation. It provides guidance on ownership, stakeholder coordination, decision-making frameworks, and publicu2013private collaboration to overcome barriers and enable sustainable, inclusive mobility solutions.
Added value of the document
The deliverable shows high transfer and adaptability potential, as its governance models (public, private, PPP) and approaches (regulation, stimulation, self-regulation) can be tailored to urban, suburban, and rural MED contexts. For implementation, strong political commitment, harmonized policy frameworks, and publicu2013private cooperation are essential. Adequate funding, citizen engagement, digital integration, and capacity building for local authorities are also needed to ensure effective adaptation and long-term sustainability.
Transferability potential
The report adds value by moving beyond the definition of mobility hubs to focus on their governance, a critical yet underexplored dimension in the Mediterranean context. While Nordic and Central European examples exist, MED regions face unique challengesu2014fragmented policies, seasonal demand, and informal transport modes. By adapting governance models, ownership structures, and decision-making frameworks to these conditions, the report provides practical, context-sensitive guidance. It also integrates best practices from other EU projects (e.g., MOBI-MIX, MOVE21), ensuring that lessons learned elsewhere are translated into actionable strategies for MED stakeholders.
