• TravelSpirit

3. The Challenge: Changes in Travel Patterns

4. The Challenge: A Changing World of Technology
The mobility industry faces challenges while technology is
revolutionising all aspects of modern life:
• Personalisation of service requirements and delivery
via mobile devices;
• Digitisation of transport routing and scheduling
systems;
• Disruptive market entrants.
The consumer is demanding better, more accurate, more
personal and more timely services.

5. “TravelSpirit” is a collaborative community for
developing and maintaining software to support
multi-modal, integrated transport initiatives.
• All code is open source.
• All development is open.
• All governance is public.

6. TravelSpirit Foundation
Si Ho [chair] Alex Burrows [ceo] Jeremy Dalton [cto] Lucy Yu [coo]
• Not for profit association – based upon meritocratic
governance structure
• Working with “Public Software” to enable existence as a
Community Interest Company (CIC)
• Guided by public benefit goals and objectives
• Trusted global brand for enabling Mobility as a Service (MaaS)
platforms

7. The Opportunity: What can TravelSpirit Do?
• Implications exist for protecting personal freedom, growing
sustainable economies and empowering local communities and
democracy.
• TravelSpirit aims to provide the necessary means to enable a
decentralised global community to take ownership of the future
thinking and infrastructure supporting mobility.
• We can sow together the best of the private sector innovation
with the best of the public/third sector public service provision, to
create inclusive Mobility as a Service.

share a common interest in growing the overall MaaS
market.

solutions that work for their citizens and local economies.

11. Affiliates: Gold & Silver

12. Affiliated Projects: Ride Pilot
Ride Pilot offers a concept relevant for Community Transport:
• Most transport scheduling and dispatch software is expensive, proprietary, and
designed for larger providers.
• Ride Pilot is a lightweight, open source alternative designed for small,
community transport programs.
• For the majority of ‘low tech’ community transport operations, this simple
’software as a service’ replaces Excel or Pen and Paper systems.
• Better support for reporting data on vehicles, drivers, trips, grant funding, etc.

13. Affiliated Projects: Simply Connect
Simply Connect offers a concept relevant for enhanced local
mobility:
• the ability to be kick-start the Mobility as a Service market in
your city;
• to develop a local scheme that offers its residents and
businesses useful new mobility options that work with the
other transport modes;
• a service provided by developing Open Source Software and
offering subsequent travel data as Open Data;
• an operating model controlled via a locally managed
business working with the transport authority while
benefiting from a wider global city framework.
