Shared & Micro-Mobility Shift: New Mobility Services in Cities

Shared micromobility and new mobility services can support mode shift when they are managed as part of a coherent urban mobility system rather than as isolated services. This session will explore how cities integrate shared mobility into public transport networks through multimodal hubs and station-area design, first- and last-mile service planning, and fleet deployment approaches that support coverage, equity, and reliability. This session gives particular attention to the regulatory building blocks that make integration durable: licensing and negotiated operator agreements, parking management and geofencing, enforcement and user education.

Speakers will focus on real implementation experiences from cities, discussing what was deployed, how governance and regulatory challenges were addressed, how cities worked with operators, and what evidence exists regarding impacts on accessibility, safety, reliability and multimodal connectivity. The objective is to identify practical and transferable approaches leveraging various models and regulatory styles that other cities can adopt when integrating new mobility services into sustainable urban mobility systems.
