New mobility services have the potential to reduce private car journeys with complementary and high quality trips alongside public transport. UITP believes in a sustainable scenario where public transport constitutes as the backbone of urban mobility systems and new mobility services are integrated to support a more sustainable city vision, less dependent on the private car. Our latest Policy Brief, “New mobility services: Managing change and disruption”, considers the historical development of informal transport and the role that public transport authorities (PTAs) can provide through four guiding principles.

In the newly-released Policy Brief from UITP, 'New Mobility and Urban Space: How can cities adapt?' we examine the impact of growing transport activity around the world; changing demographics in our cities, climate change concerns in populated areas and how this impacts mobility needs.

As innovations such as automated vehicles (AVs) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) reshape public transport, we’re find ourselves living through a digital transformation.People’s mobility habits are evolving and behaviours are being transformed as we encourage the progression of new forms of mobility. Services such as ride-hailing, car and bike-sharing and shared e-scooters have progressed enormously in recent times – forcing cities to rethink their mobility management. And yet, none of these new mobility services would meet the needs of people and society without capitalising on the massive amount of data produced by the public transport sector: Enter Data4PT.
