How “integration” in MaaS will contribute to urban policies?

Many cities have recently adopted or are trying to implement Mobility as a Service (MaaS), which combines different modes of transportation or related assets into a single service. As several discussions have highlighted, the key to move MaaS forward is “integration”.

However, a crucial question has yet to be clear: how can MaaS be integrated into and contribute to urban policies? From urban planner's perspective, it is essential to position MaaS to contribute to urban societal goals.

This session explores how the integration aspect of MaaS can promote urban policies and, as a result, societal goals. The term "policy" encompasses various viewpoints, including the transport system, urban planning, carbon-free, and social inclusion.

Out session was on Jul 18th, 2023. Visit conference website to see details.
