The mobility ecosystem is shaped by numerous stakeholders, each contributing innovative advancements to enhance services for users. While collaboration among these players is already making it easier for passengers to navigate their cities and cross borders, much more needs to be done to achieve a truly seamless mobility network. The Mobility4Users community, powered by the MaaS Alliance, of which ERTICO is a founding member, aims to become a key reference point for professionals in the field. The platform provides a neutral and collaborative environment where stakeholders can develop integrated solutions.
Private companies and public institutions are advancing innovative services and technologies for more inclusive and accessible mobility. Through MaaS, public and private services are combined to offer better planning, booking and paying for better tailor-made alternatives. Several case studies are proving the potential of such a service. However, seamless mobility isn’t just a technological challenge, but a collaborative one. A truly large-scale, cross-border solution demands more open and transparent communication between stakeholders.
Mobility4Users is bringing together global mobility experts to exchange ideas and work towards seamless mobility solutions. Through its ecosystem, the community aims to break down silos and promote cross-industry collaboration, encouraging discussions on data integration, unified ticketing and payment systems, and developing scalable, cross-border MaaS solutions.
Through peer-to-peer networking, members can expand their influence. The community also provides a comprehensive knowledge hub, offering access to legal, technical, and industry-specific resources, expert-led workgroups, and reports to stay ahead of trends. For those looking to bring innovative projects to life, Mobility4Users facilitates match-making opportunities with banks, incubators, and business angels. Additionally, personalised expert mentorship and consultancy services are available to guide members through complex challenges. Lastly, the community offers recognition and visibility, with monthly spotlights on outstanding individuals, providing a platform to showcase achievements and demonstrate a meaningful impact on sustainable mobility.
The community is committed to driving innovative strategies into actionable solutions that make mobility a more integrated experience, keeping users’ needs at the centre of every decision.
