Prioritizing low carbon mobility services for improving accessibility of citizens

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

The Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a recent concept whose main objective is to change the way people travel and pay for mobility services. The provision of transport services is one of the key pillars of strategic importance for regional authorities. Therefore, regional policy instruments can play a valuable role in supporting the introduction of MaaS and simultaneously ensuring these new platforms will contribute to low carbon transport policy-goals, social inclusion and increased levels of accessibility. The main vision of PriMaaS is to promote the integration of traditional collective transport modes with personal and innovative ones by creating equitable mobility services truly focused on citizens' needs. Regional and national policy instruments should be adapted to promote a fully integrated intermodal approach between all transport services, namely by using data provided and gathered in real time about both travel demand and travel supply. At the same time, multiscale policy instruments should ensure that the more comfortable and affordable travel options for any individual to get from A to B has also minimum carbon levels. PriMaaS aims at increasing inter-organizational collaboration and building trust among key stakeholders (transport authorities, operators, providers of mobility services and consumers protection organizations). This will be achieved by promoting thematic regional and interregional exchange of experience events. By collaborating with the policy learning platform, PriMaaS will contribute to feed a knowledge hub focused on increasing accessibility levels based on the MaaS concept, therefore contributing for unravelling the full potential of regional transport networks and maximizing their efficiency. At the end of the 1st phase, 4 policy briefings and 6 action plans will be available to support policymakers and prepare regional policy instruments to a new arising paradigm in the transport sector.

Achievements (EN): In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 47 policy learning events. It has also identified 15 good practices, produced 6 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 104 people.

Expected Results (EN):

The key objective is to create a knowledge hub to support regions in promoting the MaaS concept ensuring that i) new mobility solutions will be focused on citizens' needs, ii) low-carbon mobility solutions shall be attractive options from the citizen’s perspective in terms of comfort and price. PriMaaS PPs are committed to acting at different levels to achieve the overall goal of the project, and have defined 3 complementary objectives to ensure the success of the project implementation: - To engage regional stakeholders and increase levels of confidence among each other - New sources of data (including the production of mobility services) can be shared in common online repositories to facilitate the exchange of information thus, allowing further tuning of the mobility services towards citizens' requirements. - To deliver high-quality training and resources to policymakers and regulators - The new concept of mobility as services brings new opportunities to promote sustainable mobility, but can also entail some risks. More qualified professionals will certainly be better able to adapt policy instruments to new paradigms in transport sector. - To place technology at the service of local citizens - The receptivity to new mobility services can be very different from region to region according to the socio-economic and demographic context. To meet these objectives, a number of experience-sharing events will be organized (thematic conferences, building capacity workshops, staff exchanges). The conclusions of these events will be disseminated in technical articles, newsletters, stakeholders interviews and policy briefings designed for the targeted audience. It is also important to maintain contact with relevant stakeholders after the discussion forums. More importantly, 6 action plans to improve regional policy instrument will be ready at the end of the first phase. In the second phase, PriMaaS partners will be focused on monitoring implementation of the action plans.

Expected Outputs (EN):

The main outputs will be: EXCHANGE OF EXPERIENCE: 7 Main interregional events, each one in the 7 countries representing the consortium including 7 TC and 7 BCW. TCs will aim at sharing high-level knowledge on concepts, technology and policy implications; BCW will be interactive forums for discussion between international partners and invited stakeholders. These events will enable the regions to jointly exchange their experiences, know-how, and improve their capacity to advocate for policy changes (result). 7 Working groups meetings will be held to prepare the BAR, policy briefings, technical papers and progress reports. 35 regional stakeholders meetings (RSM) - Between the above-mentioned main events, regular regional stakeholders meetings will be organized. The main objective is to actively involve regional stakeholders in the project, keeping them informed and encouraging their participation to achieve the general objectives of PriMaaS. The location of RSM will be: 5 Portugal, Centro Region, (Aveiro,Coimbra) - PI1. 5 Italia (Liguria,Rome) - PI2. 5 Germany (Thüringen) - PI3. 5 Romania (Timisoara) - PI4. 5 Finland (Tampere) - PI5. 5 UK (Scotland) - PI6. (6 of the current RSM will occur back-to-back when the main interregional event will be located in the region). 10 staff exchange among PriMaaS partners (2-3 day visits). Development of 4 policy briefings for regional dissemination and 4 technical papers (for dissemination in external events European conferences) about the following topics 1) MaaS architectures overview, 2) Technological advances and data management, 3) MaaS risks and policy implications, 4) MaaS penetration and impacts on Low Carbon economy. RESULTS: 6 Action plans. Greater emphasis on the implementation of Maas based on intelligent, interoperable, sustainable and intermodal tools and systems, including the use of open data and open source software in all regions. COMMUNICATION: Update PriMaaS website (1000/RP visits), social networks. 6 newsletters (1/RP). brochures (2200). 30 news in regional media (radio, tv local press) . Participation in a maximum of 12 Interreg events (such as workshops, PLP) and about 4 participation in external conferences to disseminate project objectives and outputs. A final dissemination conference to promote PriMaaS achievements and to broadcast the results of the action plans’ implementation to a wider audience (executives, policymakers); 10 short interview with stakeholders to be disseminated in the project website and social media. 1 video presenting PriMaaS vision. Expected policy change as a result of the 6 developed action plans: 3 Jobs and/or ETC programmes where measures inspired by the cooperation can be implemented. 3 regional PIs where measures inspired by the cooperation will be implemented. MANAGEMENT: 7 Steering group meetings - 5 of them back-to-back with the main events will take place (+ kick-off and 1 at the 2nd phase). 6 Join progress reports (5+1).
