“Smart opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises”

Demosthenes, ancient Greek statesman and orator

Smart mobility is a new and revolutionary way of thinking about how we get around — one that is cleaner, safer, and more efficient. Put another way: “Zero Emissions, Zero Accidents, Zero Ownership.”The concept of smart mobility includes a wide range of modes of transportation: kick scooters, bicycles (regular, electric, foldable), electric buses, light rail trains, streetcars, taxis, autonomous vehicles, walking… the list is growing. Moreover, users have the option to own or share.

The concept goes beyond just alternative forms of transportation. Smart mobility is built on the following principles:

  • Flexibility: Multiple modes of transportation allow travelers to choose which ones work best for a given situation.
  • Efficiency: The trip gets the traveler to their destination with minimal disruption and in as little time as possible.
  • Integration: The full route is planned door-to-door, regardless of which modes of transportation are used.
  • Clean Technology: Transportation moves away from pollution-causing vehicles to zero-emission ones.
  • Safety: Fatalities and injuries are drastically reduced.Smart mobility promises true convenience: using whatever mode of transportation that best suits a traveler in better health, and saved money.

Smart mobility promises true convenience: using whatever mode of transportation that best suits a traveler in better health, and saved money. The options for implementing smart mobility vary, leaving municipalities lots of room to find solutions tailored for their residents.
