The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the fore glaring gaps in our transportation networks especially for those reliant on transit services. To meet our collective goals around transportation equity, climate change, and municipal fiscal responsibility, transit service delivery may require a different model, one already implemented in several cities across the world. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is an integrated platform that combines multiple modes including public transit, taxis, ride-hailing, scooter, bike, and car sharing, and sometimes even parking fees and road tolls on one easy-to-use navigation and payment app.
CUI and AECOM’s joint report, “Mobility as a Service: A Feasibility Study on Implementing MaaS in the Greater Toronto Area,” examines the region’s existing transportation infrastructure landscape and its current economic, political, technological, and operational conditions.
Join our panellists to explore the conversation around MaaS acceptance and implementation and how, if directed intentionally, the model can support better mobility access.
