UITP COMBINED MOBILITY PLATFORM

2005 : From the European Carsharing Platform to the UITP Carsharing Platform

ECS = more successful by joining forces with UITP thus aiming to achieve urban sustainable mobility.

UITP believes Carsharing is complementary to Public Transport and that together they promote sustainable mobility

2009 : From Carsharing to Combined Mobility Platform

“Mobility” has replaced “transport” – individual and public.

Public transport providers offer a broader mix of mobility services through new alliances with new actors such as carsharing, taxis, bicycles, etc..

Mission:

• Convince authorities and operators of the benefits of

combined mobility

• Stimulate interaction among all combined mobility

actors.

• Promote collaboration between all stakeholders to

develop a comprehensive mobility offer responding to

all the needs of the users and facilitating door-to-door

mobility.

How:

• Meetings, Workshops, Publications (Articles, online

toolbox, position papers), Advocacy,

WHY COMBINED MOBILITY?

Successful cities rely on efficient public transport in combination with shared mobility services

CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE

More complex mobility needs

Relationship with the car changes

Modern mobility

= flexibility + convenience

= Door-to-door solution

Public transport + Carsharing

Taxis and shared taxis

Bicycle and bike-sharing

Carpooling, ride-sharing

On demand transport

Park & ride

...

COMBINED MOBILITY IS THE ANSWER

A real alternative to the private car

A key to change citizens travel behaviour

COMBINED MOBILITY + EFFICIENT PUBLIC TRANSPORT

• Complement the mobility chain

• Enlarge your service portfolio

• Change travel behaviour

• Meet lifestyle needs of new generations

• Extend catchment area of public transport

• Solution for first+last mile issue

• Give public transport a fresher image

Benefits - Why should public transport engage with

combined mobility services?

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GOOD

COLLABORATION:

Develop a real Combined Mobility policy

Stronger together

Public transport should play an active role or even

take the lead when developing partnerships.

Building strong alliances and partnerships is

important, their form is secondary and depends

on the context.

Setting up a department in charge of Combined

Mobility

Being aware of mutual benefits

Formalize the recognition of a Combined Mobility service

by the organizing authority

Build tomorrow’s cities

Use new technologies

Develop global marketing campaigns

Encourage commercial cooperation

Opt for and privilege combined mobility services with

economic models in which client tariff income reflects,

as far as possible, real costs.

Quality as the leitmotif

1. one year free subscription cambio carsharing + oneyear free public transport

2. One year free subscription cambio carsharing + a bike bonus of 505€.

Succesfull cooperation between carsharing and public transport induces a modal shift. Deeper collaboration between different mobilityproviders should be encouraged.

MOBILITY AS A SERVICE

27

“The spotify of transport”

A traveller uses mobility services offered by one provider, in stead of his owntransportation.

That provider rassembles different modes of transport which offers the travellerthe possibility to choose its mode of transport depending on its destination, time, price and real traffic

MOBILITY AS A SERVICE

28

A MaaS provider should consist of the following:

• Offering a wide range of mobility services such as public transport,

ridesharing, bikesharing, carsharing,…

• Reservation and payment of tickets

• Tripplanning – from door to door

• Realtime data

• Offering side services such as parking, fuel card,…

MOBILITY AS A SERVICE

29

MAAS: MOBILITY AS A SERVICE OR INTEGRATED MOBILITY

PLATFORMS

Challenges for a MSP

• Cooperation with (all) different modes of transport

• Means of reservation and payment

• Complemantarity of different existing systems

• Rassembling and protecting all (real-time) data

• Creating a user friendly device

• Convincing the individual

• Conving public administration & politics to create a preferential (fiscal) environment

30

MAAS – EXAMPLE BELGIUM

31

Olympus App

• Lease car-riders are given access to the app

• The Olympus app allows them to buy public transport tickets, command bikesharing and carsharing, payunderground parking,… The company receives only 1 invoice.

• The rider is encouraged to use/try other modes of transport by giving him/her easy access.

CHALLENGES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Increase of individual comfort

Time saving

Smart driving

Personal preferences

Liberty

« Natural » choice for the individual

MONEY DRIVEN

CHALLENGES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Consequences More purchase of cars Average A.V. drives more Empty cars on the road Spatial spreading of cars Loss of public space For the rich Decrease of use of P.T. Road Safety (1,2 millions deaths

on the road a year)

Challenge:Convince the individual to make a shift to shared PT AV’s

CHALLENGES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

What should Public Transport do? Two options:

1. Nothing, but then big corporates will dictate the market

2. Be involved

through cooperation with local authorities

being the initiator: by integrating the ‘shared AV’ in the Public Transport System

CHALLENGES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Positive influences if initiated by PT (+ local

authorities):

Data ownership

Less congestion (interconnectivity + road

pricing)

Less cars

More public space

CHALLENGES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

How to provide easy & seamless mobility?

Offer integrated mobility solutions : Mobility as a Service –Mobility Shops – Integrated Mobility Platforms by setting up partnerships

« If you control the platform you control the behaviour »

Use autonomous vehicles (AV) technology to optimise the public transport system and to prepare the citizens on thismode

42

To encourage shared autonomous vehicles

tomorrow we need more shared mobility today!

OUTCOME IN 2025

If futur mobility consists of

• Deep collaboration of different mobility providers through MaaS

• Integration of autonomonous vehicles in the society via public transport providers

• The concept of shared mobility (carsharing + ridesharing) is accepted and the individual preferencesare set aside

= Introduction of driverless shared autonomonous cars withdifferent capacity reinforcing public transport

THE FUTURE OF CARS?

Decrease of the number of private cars with

80%
