Building sustainable urban mobility: Holistic MaaS solutions and the carrot-and-stick approach
As urbanization continues to increase, the need for better infrastructure to meet urban mobility needs becomes paramount. Streets and highways alone are insufficient to address the challenges of urban mobility, and governments must act. A holistic approach to mobility is essential and creating a comprehensive Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform can interconnect various mobility services, with public transportation as the backbone. This integrated approach can offer convenient and sustainable mobility options for urban residents. Additionally, a "carrot and stick" approach that promotes alternative mobility options while gradually discouraging personal vehicle use can be an effective strategy. This approach encourages the adoption of sustainable mobility options while gradually reducing reliance on personal vehicles, contributing to more sustainable and livable urban environments.
Urbanization needs better infrastructure design for urban areas: Urbanization is on the rise, and it's crucial to reconsider the infrastructure for urban mobility. Streets and highways alone are not sufficient to meet the mobility needs of urban dwellers, and governments need to take action.
Creating a holistic mobility platform for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS): A comprehensive ecosystem approach with a technology platform for MaaS can interconnect various mobility services, improving urban mobility with public transportation as the backbone. This integrated approach can offer convenient and sustainable mobility options for urban residents.
Carrot and Stick Approach for Promoting Alternative Mobility: Prioritizing the development of competitive and holistic mobility alternatives can be an effective strategy before making individual mobility less attractive or dismantling existing car-related infrastructure. This "carrot and stick" approach incentivizes the adoption of sustainable mobility options while gradually discouraging reliance on personal vehicles.
