Summary of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning

Core Content

This document explores the concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and its integration into Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP). It outlines the key principles and steps of SUMP, emphasizing the role of MaaS in promoting sustainable transport and improving urban mobility.

MaaS is a user-centric, multimodal approach that integrates various transport services into a single digital platform, offering users a seamless experience through a unified interface. It aims to reduce private car dependency, enhance accessibility, and improve the efficiency of transport networks. MaaS can also provide insights into travel behavior, enabling targeted policy adaptations and more informed investment decisions.

Main Points

Definition of MaaS

• MaaS is the integration of different transport services into a single mobility service accessible on demand.
• It allows users to access transport via a single application, with a single payment channel.
• It is based on the seamless integration of public and commercial transport modes.
• MaaS does not create new transport capacity, but rather integrates existing services.

MaaS Ecosystem

• The MaaS ecosystem includes:
  • MaaS Operators: Compile and offer the integrated mobility service.
  • Transport Operators and Mobility Service Providers (MSPs): Supply transport capacity and services.
  • Cities, Transport Authorities, and Infrastructure Managers: Provide regulatory and infrastructural support.
  • Data Providers and Infomobility Service Providers: Supply data and information services.
  • Technology and Platform Providers: Deliver the technical back-end for the MaaS platform.
  • ICT Infrastructure: Enables digital access and communication.
  • Payment System Providers: Facilitate payment and ticketing processes.
  • Insurance Companies, Regulatory Bodies, Universities, and Investors: Support the development and governance of MaaS.

Opportunities

• Reduces car dependency: MaaS enables users to choose the most suitable transport modes based on their needs.
• Improves accessibility: Offers tailored mobility options, especially for vulnerable groups.
• Enhances social inclusion: Makes transport more accessible and reduces isolation.
• Supports efficient traffic management: By optimizing transport modes and reducing congestion.
• Promotes sustainable travel behavior: Encourages the use of public transport and active mobility.
• Provides better intermodal connectivity: Facilitates smoother transitions between different transport modes.
• Supports data-driven decision making: Offers insights into travel patterns and demand for better urban planning.

Challenges

• Lack of standardization: Data from different sources is not uniformly structured or formatted.
• Data sharing issues: Public and private stakeholders may be reluctant to share data due to competition.
• Need for trust and cooperation: Ensures that all actors in the MaaS ecosystem work together.
• Resource constraints: Public authorities may lack the necessary financial and human resources for data management.
• Regulatory and policy barriers: May hinder the development of MaaS and its integration into urban mobility planning.
• Risk of mode shift: MaaS could lead to a shift away from sustainable modes like walking and cycling, toward car-based services.

Key SUMP Principles for MaaS Integration

1. Plan for sustainable mobility in the 'functional city'
2. Develop a long-term vision and a clear implementation plan
3. Assess current and future performance
4. Develop all transport modes in an integrated manner
5. Cooperate across institutional boundaries
6. Involve citizens and relevant stakeholders
7. Arrange for monitoring and evaluation
8. Assure quality

Phases of SUMP for MaaS

1. Phase 1: Preparation and analysis

   • Understand the current transport situation and future trends.
   • Identify the needs of users and stakeholders.

2. Phase 2: Strategy Development

   • Define a long-term vision and strategic objectives.
   • Develop a clear plan for MaaS implementation.

3. Phase 3: Measure Planning

   • Plan the necessary measures and services.
   • Ensure the integration of different transport modes.

4. Phase 4: Implementation and Monitoring

   • Implement the MaaS service.
   • Monitor and evaluate its impact and effectiveness.

MaaS Readiness and Evaluation

Cities must evaluate their readiness for MaaS by considering the following:

• Transport operators' openness and data sharing
• Policy, regulation, and legislation
• Citizens' familiarity and willingness to use MaaS
• ICT infrastructure
• Transport services and infrastructure

These factors are essential for the successful introduction and operation of MaaS.

Operational and Governance Models

• There is no one-size-fits-all model for MaaS.
• Possible models include:
  • Private Integrator(s)
  • Open Back-End Platform
  • Public Transport as the Integrator
  • Other models, including those involving non-transport actors.
• Open and inclusive MaaS is encouraged, where all stakeholders are involved and data is shared fairly.

Conclusion

MaaS has the potential to transform urban mobility by integrating various transport modes and services into a single digital platform. It supports sustainable urban mobility planning by promoting multimodal travel, reducing congestion, and improving quality of life. However, its successful implementation requires collaboration, data sharing, and policy support. The integration of MaaS into SUMP is a strategic and integrated process, guided by the 8 SUMP principles and the 4-phase cycle.
