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 in January 2025, the team completed the existing conditions report. During the winter and spring of 2025, the project team completed a site selection analysis that identified potential sites for the Go Hub community mobility center. During the summer of 2025, the project team continued to narrow the list of potential sites for the GoHub and created conceptual site design renderings. Equiticity staff continued to conduct community engagement events throughout the summer, including design charettes, focus groups, Community Mobility Rituals, and distribution of a community survey.
