Regional mobility hubs offer a promising solution to address growing mobility demands and sustainability challenges across urban and rural areas. While their potential is widely recognized, regional hubs often face the challenge of solving urban problems, such as congestion, through interventions located outside the city, leading to a mismatch between problem and solution space. This misalignment complicates local buy-in and contributes
to fragmented stakeholder collaboration across multiple governance levels. This research investigates how collaboration can be improved during the development and implementation
phases of regional mobility hubs. A conceptual collaboration framework was developed from literature and applied to a case study of the Brainporthubs in the Eindhoven region. The
findings reveal that relationship quality is a critical prerequisite for effective engagement, eventually leading to successful collaboration. Additionally, shared value creation, especially through integrated policy agendas, emerges as a key driver for stakeholder commitment. Based on these insights, the original framework was refined and translated into actionable strategies for both existing and future hub projects. This study contributes an evidencebased model and concrete strategies to enhance collaborative governance in complex transport initiatives.
