Centralina Learns: Intro to Mobility Hubs

July 8, 2025

Centralina’s Integrated Mobility Center (IMC) is moving forward with the implementation of mobility hubs in the region! The development of a regional mobility hub implementation strategy was a key recommendation from CONNECT Beyond.   Centralina is funding four mobility hub pilot projects, which can assist a community in site selection, conceptual design and an implementation roadmap. Communities will be able to apply to be one of the pilots in July 2025. Mobility Hubs can come in all different varieties, so any community within the Centralina service area should consider applying. This session provides the basics of what mobility hubs are, illustrates some examples of successful mobility hubs and explains the application process to become a pilot project.

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.
