The MaaS Alliance (Alliance) is a public-private partnership working to establish the foundations for building a common approach to MaaS and unlocking the economies of scale needed to support the successful implementation and uptake of MaaS globally. The MaaS Alliance’s vision is to facilitate an open MaaS ecosystem that benefits users, societies, and the environment. To reach this goal, the Alliance brings together stakeholders from all sectors to enable the successful deployment of MaaS around the world.
The Alliance also contributes to policy-making, promotes the added value of MaaS to new stakeholders, monitors and shares information on MaaS market development, and supports the technical interoperability of services.The MaaS Alliance published its original vision in 2017 as the MaaS Alliance White Paper, giving guidelines and recommendations on creating a thriving MaaS ecosystem.
The White Paper highlighted the need for MaaS to be sustainable, inclusive, and based on collaboration between public and private partners working in an open ecosystem. Now that the Alliance has more experience with – and insights into – the evolution of MaaS, it is time to take a deeper dive into the subject.
Specifically, we aim to provide detailed information on how to support the development of an open and competitive MaaS market that delivers clear benefits to users, societies, and the environment.
The MaaS Alliance has gained significant new insights and ideas for developing user-centric, societally sound MaaS services by facilitating open and trusted knowledge sharing within the industry.
Andy Taylor
MaaS Alliance President
Over the past ten years, the MaaS Alliance has united key stakeholders—governments, transport operators, technology providers, and mobility innovators—to break down silos and build an open, interoperable mobility ecosystem. Through collaboration, we have influenced policies, developed best practices, and created a shared framework for the future of transport.
Our work, however, is far from over. As we look ahead, the challenges of urban congestion, climate change, and digital transformation demand even greater cooperation and innovation. The MaaS Alliance will continue to lead the way, advocating for user-centric, sustainable mobility solutions that work for cities, businesses, and individuals alike.
