Apply Today to be a Mobility Hub Pilot Project

June 27, 2025

Centralina’s Integrated Mobility Center is taking a major step forward in transforming how residents move through our region with the upcoming launch of mobility hubs. These hubs, designed to connect multiple transportation options in one convenient location, are a key recommendation from the CONNECT Beyond regional mobility plan. 

To support communities in bringing these innovative transportation solutions to life, Centralina is developing a Regional Mobility Hub Implementation Strategy Playbook. This resource will offer practical guidance for communities considering mobility hub projects, from planning through implementation. 

Even more exciting, Centralina is funding four pilot projects to kickstart the effort. Communities within the Centralina region are being asked to submit potential mobility hub locations in their community to be considered for this effort. If selected, Centralina’s consultant will work with the community to develop a plan to advance the mobility hub. Selected communities could receive support for site selection, conceptual design, other key tasks and an implementation roadmap that will be developed specifically for the community. Applications for these pilot projects have opened, and interested communities are encouraged to apply at their earliest opportunity. 

Please complete your application by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 31st.  If you have any questions, contact Andy Grzymski at agrzymski@centralina.org

Federal funds are commonly passed through state agencies in North Carolina before being awarded to local governments, which can make the original funding source less obvious. Before proceeding with a procurement, local governments should verify whether an award originates from a federal source. This determination affects compliance obligations, including procurement standards, reporting, and audit requirements.

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
