I discussed this a while ago, but as a reminder, here's the information that I believe is important on our path towards Electromobility‼️ 🚍 Strategies to Promote Public Transport Use in Future Cities 🌆 Public transport is crucial for achieving more sustainable and efficient cities. Implementing innovative strategies to enhance its accessibility, comfort, and efficiency is fundamental to increasing its usage. Here are some of the most effective strategies: 🔧 Improving Infrastructure: Investing in the expansion of bus and train networks, creating dedicated lanes for public transport, and integrating different modes of transportation such as bicycles and electric scooters are essential steps. 💰 Economic Incentives: Offering fare discounts, loyalty programs, and bonuses for frequent use can boost demand and make public transport more attractive. 🚦 Traffic Management Policies: Prioritizing public transport over private vehicles through the creation of pedestrian zones and reducing parking spaces in city centers encourages its use. 📱 Technology: Implementing real-time information systems, such as mobile apps and informational panels at stops, enhances the user experience and facilitates travel planning. 🌱 Awareness and Education: Promoting the benefits of public transport, including reducing carbon emissions, alleviating traffic congestion, and improving air quality, is crucial for its adoption. Implementing these strategies will not only make our cities more sustainable but also more livable and efficient. Let's strive for a future where public transport is the preferred choice for everyone. #PublicTransport #Sustainability #UrbanInnovation #EfficientMobility #CitiesOfTheFuture #ElectroMobility #ElecteicBuses

Nemi joined us at TRANSPORT Smart Class, North of England 2024 to highlight how rural and peri-urban environments with significant #publictransport gaps can use a semi-flexible #DRT approach to significantly improve the #mobility of their inhabitants, dissolving #transport deserts and #connectivity issues in their tracks. Using case studies from a number of low density areas in Spain, co-speakers Lisa Jane Grace and Abigail Meuli demonstrated that, with limited resources, semi-flex DRT can bring important efficiencies in terms of #demandaggregation, enhanced #userexperience, #passengersatisfaction and high #socialvalue. Following their presentation and Q&A, Lisa and Abby went on to host deeper dive roundtable discussions with additional support from Giovanni Tokarski. Like to learn more about the #hybrid approach and success factors for resource allocation and demand aggregation? A summary of presentation highlights can be found in the retrospective below!

"World Sustainable Transport Day" – 26th November 2024 A little late to post this, but I’m still excited to share a glimpse of my recent visit to Sydney, Australia. The city is a shining example of sustainable and integrated public transport, and as a transport planner, I was truly impressed by the city’s public transport network. The Power of Information As a transport planner, the key takeaway from my experience is that disseminating information in both analogue and digital formats is crucial for promoting a seamless public transport system. Whether it’s through clear signage, apps, or real-time displays, providing passengers with the right information at the right time encourages people to use public transport more often. Information truly is the gateway to user adoption—by making people feel informed, they feel empowered to take public transport with confidence. Sydney’s transport system is a testament to how information can be the driving force behind the success of a public transport network, and it’s something I’ll take back with me to improve my own planning practices. Looking forward to sharing more of my journey!   #WorldSustainableTransportDay #MultimodalIntegration #PublicTransportPlanning

Cities can get the most out of #micromobility by implementing smart, balanced regulations rather than risking unintended consequences. 🚲 Lars Christian Grødem-Olsen (Mobility Consultant) shared greats insights on World Economic Forum, outlining recommendations for cities to align mobility services with urban goals and citizens' needs. 🌆 Building on Lars’s insights, here are additional enhancements cities could consider: 1. Add vehicle capacity limits only where necessary 🎯 Set vehicle caps only where needed, ensuring better service distribution without restricting access in outlying areas. 2. Avoid digital overregulation: ⚙️ Start with little regulation. More regulations can always be added as necessary. It’s digital #dynamicregulation, you know! 3. Ensure good parking coverage: 🅿️ Provide both digital and physical parking options to enhance clarity and convenience for users. 4. Issue parking tickets 🚨 Operators should be encouraged to respond to parking reports made by residents - and thereby avoid fines.  5. Simplify tender and compliance processes: 📄 Most cities could be open to any operator that complies to rules, exchange data and pay fees.  6. Limit regulatory fees: 💰 📈 📉 Keep fees dynamic to reflect real-time conditions and meet city needs effectively. With these measures, cities can maximize micromobility’s potential for creating cleaner, more accessible urban environments. 🌍✨ You can find the link to his post in the comments. #UrbanMobility #DigitalRegulation #DynamicGovernance #Micromobility 

Toledo’s transit authority launches account-based ticketing. The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) has introduced an innovative account-based ticketing system, which aims to simplify access to public transportation services in Toledo. This initiative offers riders greater flexibility and cost savings, making public transit more convenient and efficient. -- The new system allows for fare capping, meaning users will pay the equivalent of an extended pass without upfront fees.   -- It ensures smoother fare collection and simplifies the ticketing process, improving user experience.   -- TARTA aims to enhance convenience while promoting sustainable and inclusive mobility solutions. 🚍💡 TARTA's new system enhances user convenience while encouraging smarter mobility. It’s a win for sustainability, affordability, and accessibility. The easy-to-use system aligns with smart city trends, benefiting both residents and transit authorities. 🌍 #SmartMobility #PublicTransit #AccountBasedTicketing #Sustainability #Innovation #SmartCities #Toledo https://lnkd.in/eY3PiMkX
