WEBINAR: On the path to net-zero through multimodality
2021-05-26 14:00 - 15:30 UTC | ONLINE
Despite innovative green mobility solutions being deployed and the political support it has received, passenger mobility is falling behind its emission reduction goals set by governments around the world. The shift to multimodal transport is often mentioned at the top of the list of transformations that will substantially contribute to ambitious emission targets. Yet, multimodality and its enabler, Mobility as a Service, has yet to deliver on its promises and set passenger mobility on the path to net-zero.
This webinar will explore the real potential of multimodality in reducing transport emission, the principles to report on the reduction made and the key drivers to make multimodality live up to the expectations. This webinar is the first in Iomob’s Net-Zero webinar series.

2021-10-11 11:30 - 13:00 UTC

But a number of challenges remain in expanding the potential and applicability of MaaS/MoD. For example, are there sustainable business cases and governance models that address social and economic impacts while meeting the goals for widely available and accessible user-focussed mobility? This forum will explore whether these solutions can also help us reduce transport’s environmental impact. And what developments might we expect by 2030?

Mind the Data Gap: Why Transport Needs a Gender Dimension
2021-11-25 11:00 - 12:30 UTC
The eye-opening book ‘Invisible Women’ by Caroline Criado Perez put the spotlight on the gender data gap. Its detailed analysis how this gap affects us – and can harm women – all over the world and in all areas of our lives, made a lasting impact on many of us. Transport is an important part of everyday life and an enabler in many ways: it gets us to our work places and back, delivers kids to school and enables day-to-day living.
In this panel discussion we shine a light on the consequences the gender data gap in transport has on women’s lives, look at what is being done to address this and come away with concrete steps, action items, recommendations and resources. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn from our experts.
The session is moderated by Sandra Witzel, co-founder of Women in Mobility UK and CMO and Board Director at SkedGo. It is hosted by Sarah Wray, Editor at Cities Today. The session will be recorded and available to view on demand.

MaaS Congress 2021
2021-12-07
MaaS has the potential for a modal shift and can thus ensure liveable and accessible cities. But the question is whether those benefits are only achieved by offering a perfectly working app? Humans are creatures of habit. How do you bring about that behavioural change? We will be happy to discuss this question with you on December 7 during the MaaS Congress 2021. It is also possible to participate in this congress online.
Behavioural change is, therefore, central on 7 December. Because governments and MaaS providers hope for large-scale use, but this still requires some efforts from the same parties. We will try to provide tools for this during the conference.
How do you actually change the behaviour of travellers? What are the motives of travellers to use or not to use MaaS? How do you prevent certain target groups from being left out? And how can governments use nudging to push citizens in the desired direction? The second edition of the MaaS Congress is about these questions.

User-centric MaaS Webinar on Sustainable mobility: Is car sharing the magic bullet?
2022-03-30 13:00 - 14:00 UTC
The MaaS Alliance is pleased to invite you to its User-Centric MaaS Webinar on Sustainable Mobility, focusing on Car Sharing. Because let’s be honest, most people aren’t going to replace all their car trips with public transport or micromobility. Additionally, it’s unrealistic to think that replacing fuel-driven cars with e-cars 1:1 is going to solve our transport problems. So is car sharing the magic bullet? In this webinar, we will analyse the role of share cars/car clubs. How can they help replace individual car use and make transport systems sustainable? What are the challenges? The discussion will have a strong user focus: what do people need from the shared system in order to switch, what can we learn from the latest case studies and relevant research?
The webinar, moderated by Sandra Witzel, CMO and Board Director at SkedGo, will take place on Wednesday 30 March from 13:00 – 14:00 CET. Join our panel of experts for a lively discussion!

Antonia Roberts, Deputy Chief Executive at CoMoUK
