Shared-use mobility hubs bring together buses, rideshare, bicycles, and e-scooters into a single, coordinated location, enabling seamless travel without switching between disconnected stops.
For the City of Shoreline, I designed a visual system that translates this complex, policy-driven concept into clear and approachable guidance for planners and stakeholders. The design challenge was translating the plan’s vision and complexity into a visual story that residents of the Shoreline community can understand and relate to.

A key part of the plan was visually representing three types of shared-use mobility hubs: Neighborhood, Central, and Regional. Each hub type is tailored to different community needs, from local access to regional connectivity, helping planners apply the right level of investment and infrastructure. I used color-coded text, illustrations, and maps to show how each type is tailored to different parts of the community:
Three sites across the city were selected to demonstrate how shared-use mobility hubs can be applied in real-world contexts. The example below shows how 2D site planning and 3D visualization work together to illustrate circulation, amenities, and the overall user experience at a specific location:

To support clarity and consistency across the plan, I developed a visual system that organizes maps, iconography, typography, color, and illustration into a cohesive framework. This system ensures that complex information is communicated consistently, making the overall report easier to understand.
