New designated parking stalls improve connections to transit services

COQUITLAM, BC – TransLink and the City of Coquitlam are partnering to launch mobility hubs for customers using shared e-bikes and e-scooters at Coquitlam Central Station. Located outside the fare gates of both the SkyTrain and West Coast Express stations, the hubs make it easier for riders to connect to transit using micromobility options.

The designated parking areas are clearly marked, with designs similar to other e-scooter parking zones throughout the City of Coquitlam. Riders are required to end their trips within these areas. Shared e-bikes and e-scooters must be docked inside the mobility hub, and are not permitted inside the Fare Paid Zone, or on board the SkyTrain or West Coast Express.

This new mobility hub will make it more convenient for customers to seamlessly connect to transit services.

Mobility hubs support TransLink’s goal of creating convenient choices for everyone, as laid out in Transport 2050 and the Access For Everyone plan, including:

• Transforming transit stops and stations into multi-modal mobility hubs that enable seamless transfers between different transportation options.
• Providing parking and charging infrastructure for shared vehicles and micromobility devices at transit stops and stations.
• Improving access to shared micromobility by enabling convenient, safe, and accessible services that are distributed throughout the region.

The mobility hub will be in place until December 2025, after which the collected data will be analyzed to evaluate its success and inform future decisions, including the feasibility of implementing similar approaches at other transit hubs in Metro Vancouver.
