ProMaaS – Mobility as a Service: An optimized travelling experience

The Pro-Maas project, led by CARNET, is aimed at developing tools for governments to regulate mobility-as-a-service. The project, funded by the EIT Urban Mobility, counts with different partners representing all areas of the knowledge triangle. Among the partners we find first level European universities (Aalto University, Technical University of Catalonia, Technical University of Munich, University College of London), mobility-oriented organizations (Altran Technologies, Zone Cluster Ltd., ERTICO-ITS Europe, MaaS Global Oy, Achmea Risk Insurance), and innovative European cities are (Barcelona’s city council, the city of Amsterdam, the city of Hamburg, Forum Virium Helsinki). By helping develop policies and regulations, ProMaas contributes to MaaS reaching its full environmental and social benefits.

The initial step was to conduct a research on cities, which included data gathering and the identification of the current services offered and mobility trends. After this analysis, project members moved onto the study of current regulations and possible barriers to deploy MaaS in different cities, considering existing regulatory framework.

During this process, Pro-MaaS project members work jointly with multiple stakeholders, research institutions and private companies will be able to participate through their insights as members of the consortium. This will ensure a better deployment of mobility-as-a-service through the designed guidelines.

Three deliverables have been presented to this date and the project is an on-going reality that is meeting the set goals and advancing satisfactorily. The partners will keep on working and are motivated to, with the design of these guidelines, increase the adoption of new mobility solutions and public-private cooperation based on the identified lessons learned and best practices.
