Urban transportation is undergoing massive change and expansion, especially in the developing world. The rapid growth of cities is driving demand for better urban transportation and many cities are set to invest heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately, the needs of low-income households are often overlooked in the selection, design, and service decisions related to these investments. According to the World Bank, urban public transportation systems disproportionately disadvantage the urban poor and vulnerable, especially in cities in the developing world.
Meanwhile, innovative business and service models are emerging that are disrupting the established transportation systems in cities by taking advantage of open data, the Internet and mobile telephony. Services such as bike share, ZipCar®, Waze®, Hopstop®, and Uber® are reducing consumption and reconfiguring the relationship between modes, users, and providers of transportation. These new approaches improve urban transportation by making it more efficient, dependable, and sustainable.
As Susan Zielinski of the University of Michigan’s SMART Initiative puts it, “Transportation is at a crossroads. In response to rapid urbanization, shifting demographics, and other pressing social, economic, and environmental factors, cities and regions are shifting investment dollars from single mode infrastructure to multi-mode, multi-service, IT-enabled door-to-door systems… innovations and opportunities (are going) beyond the bounds of the traditional transportation industry.”
Collectively referred to as the emerging New Mobility sector, this innovative industry sector provides a key opportunity to build more inclusive cities and more resilient communities.
Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities is an exploratory effort focused on identifying innovative business and service models that are beneficial to the urban poor, both as users and providers of urban transportation.The primer briefly summarizes and showcases some of the hallmark innovations that are challenging the status quo in rapidly growing cities in the developing world.

Editor's Notes
Based upon working in this area for the past 3 years with experts at the federal, state, and local level – here are the challenges that limit mobility in rural communities.
Insurance companies love Liberty. We can get their members to the doctor better, faster, and more affordably. Research shows that 66% of Ambulance Transportation is unnecessary. For example, individuals calling 911 to get to their dialysis 3 appointments days a week. Liberty can save the healthcare industry over $3 billion for this issue alone. And that is why insurance companies are reaching out to contract with us.
Doctors also love Liberty. 1 in 5 doctor appointments are cancelled or result in a no show. This costs each doctor about $18,000 a year and hospitals a fortune in catastrophic medical expenses due to missed preventative appointments and follow-up visits. Annually, this results $15 billion dollar cost to the healthcare industry.
Next, we coordinate and compliment the network of transportation options, including buses, taxis, and our own independent Liberty Drivers. Liberty Drivers reduce the transportation wait time from 3 days to in some areas 30 minutes. What separates us from other rideshare services, is our drivers go through the same background checks as Nurses and Teachers.
We provide a call center and smartphone application riders can use the moment they know they need a ride. Liberty can be used by anyone to go not only to doctor appointments, but also work, out for fun, or see family members.
And finally, we give hospitals, care facilities, and non profits an online computer portal they can use to get their clients to their appointments the most efficient way possible. And on top of that, we are able to optimize billing and reporting.
Connecting these components is our secret sauce.
So Doris, her doctor, or her caregiver can request a trip. And from there, Liberty does the rest - the booking, the billing, and the tracking.
And we have lots of momentum. We received a $150k Small Business Innovation Research Grant from USDOT to build our initial platform and do our beta launch in Scottsbluff, NE.
And We’re excited to announce we’ll be launching in South Texas with the Coastal Bend Center for Independent Living with $120k from Texas DOT.
