The West Midlands is becoming a testbed for future mobility solutions as it seeks to implement its own strategy for reducing congestion and emissions.

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), the organisation that is responsible for transport in the region, has teamed up with the University of Warwick for a two-year trial aimed at persuading motorists to switch their cars for more environmentally friendly modes of transport.

One of the initiatives is a mobility hub which is designed to bring together eco-friendly travel options such as e-scooters, pedal bikes and electric vehicle charging points to neighbourhoods, and local centres.

The trial is part of the £22 million Future Transport Zone programme.
