Smart Public Transportation and Mobility Hub Design in El Paso
Abstract
This thesis explores the potential of a Smart Public Transportation concept and mobility hub design as tools to mitigate the growing trend of transportation issues, such as traffic congestion, reliance on privately owned vehicles, or unattractive public transportation. Consequently, residents’ lives are negatively affected by excessive noise, air pollution, and travel delays, leading to increased safety risks, lost productivity, and a lower quality of life. Considering these challenges, the study begins by analyzing the current state of public transportation in El Paso. Next, it introduces a toolkit from the Smart City concept, followed by case studies of best practices of public transit and mobility hub implementation from American and European conditions. Lastly, the core of this thesis lies in the design of a mobility hub in Downtown El Paso, accompanied by implementation recommendations. Hopefully, this work will serve as a roadmap and contribute to more sustainable and accessible transportation for the benefit of El Paso.
