1. Navigating
Sustainable Mobility:
Triumphing Over
Mobility-as-a-Service
(MaaS) Challenges
As demand for transportation grows, so does the need for sustainable
mobility solutions. In this presentation, we will explore the challenges
facing Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) implementation and discuss how to
overcome them.

2. Defining Sustainable Mobility and MaaS
Sustainable Mobility
Sustainable mobility refers to any transportation
system or method that is economically,
environmentally, and socially sustainable.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)
MaaS describes the shift from personally owned
transportation toward mobility solutions that are
consumed as a service.
MaaS Business Models
Examples of MaaS business models include car
sharing, bike sharing, ride sharing, and public
transportation.
MaaS Benefits
MaaS has the potential to reduce traffic
congestion, pollution, and the need for parking
while creating new job opportunities.

3. The Key Challenges of MaaS Implementation
1
Regulatory Issues
Different jurisdictions will have varying regulatory
requirements and engaging with these, takes
time and deep understanding of the
transportation industry as a whole.
2
Interoperability
Interoperability among MaaS providers and
existing transportation systems is fundamental to
the success of any MaaS solution.
3
User Privacy and Data Protection
Sharing personal data with multiple MaaS
providers may raise concerns over data
protection and the privacy rights of users.

4. Solutions to Overcoming MaaS Challenges
Smart Cities
Developing smart cities that run
on technology that connects
transit systems will allow
different modes of transportation
to be integrated, which will
greatly improve entire networks.
Multi-Stakeholder
Collaboration
MaaS implementation is a
complex process involving
various stakeholders, including
the government, transportation
operators, technology providers,
and consumers. Each
stakeholder must work together
to overcome the challenges
associated with MaaS
implementation.
Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology could
allow for secure and timely
exchange of data between
stakeholders, while maintaining
data privacy and transparency.

5. The Benefits of Sustainable Mobility
1 Environmental Sustainability
Sustainable mobility solutions, like electric
mobility, help to reduce air pollution and
carbon emissions, which improves the
quality of life in cities.
2
Reduced Traffic Congestion
By encouraging public transit, ride-
sharing, and bike-sharing over private
vehicles, sustainable mobility can
significantly reduce traffic congestion,
shorten travel time and improve urban
accessibility and mobility.
3 Cheaper & Better Transportation
Sustainable mobility provides travel
options that are more efficient, cost-
effective, and safer for people and
communities, especially for people on low
incomes or people living in isolated areas.

6. Case Studies of Successful Sustainable
Mobility Implementation
Paris, France
Paris witnessed a revolution in sustainable and
multimodal urban mobility with the introduction
of the city's ambitious, shared transportation
initiative 'Vélib' in 2007.
Helsinki, Finland
Helsinki offers 'Whim,' a mobile app which
integrates various modes of transportation,
eliminating the need for multiple apps and
payment systems and making it easier for
people to get around.
Austin, Texas
Austin's successful car-sharing system,
Car2Go, gives users the flexibility to pick up and
drop off cars where they like, using a mobile
app, making urban traveling less of a hassle.
Seoul, South Korea
Seoul's smart mobile transport service, 'T-
Money,' is a transportation smart card, similar to
the Oyster card used in London. It can be used
for payments in transit and can also be used for
purchases at selected retailers.

7. The Future of Sustainable Mobility
1 MaaS-Enabled Smart Cities
In the future, cities will utilize
technology to optimize
transportation for MaaS, including
self-driving cars and mass AIR
cabs that can move both cargo
and people in a single, seamless
trip.
2 Greater Use of Public
Transport
With a growing awareness of
environmental issues, more
governments and communities
are looking to reduce pollution
and traffic congestion through the
use of public transport.
3 Incorporation of Internet-of-Things (IoT)
IOT technologies enable connected devices to control traffic, assist in parking,
and fuel new models for mobility. Offering higher efficiency and convenience.

8. Conclusion and Key Takeaways

• Invest in sustainable
mobility infrastructure
Increased MaaS
Awareness
• MaaS must meet the
needs of all passengers
• MaaS providers should
communicate clear
benefits of use
• People need to be
informed about and
encouraged to adopt
MaaS options.
Environmental
Responsibilities
• Position environmental
sustainability as a
priority.
• Consider who could be
impacted by the
company succeeding in
the sustainable
transformation.
• Maintain a proactive
stance on sustainability.
