Notice Title

SC22201 Mobility as A Service (MaaS) Partnership Services

Notice Description

A Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Platform provides a digital transport service that enables users to plan, book and pay for a range of public transport & private transport options, including multi-modal tickets and the use of new transport modes, within a defined geographical area. The user is able to access real-time information to assist them on their journey. MaaS can be perceived as a one-stop online ICT interface comprising: * an intermodal journey planner (providing combinations of different transport modes: bus, BRT, rail, DRT, electric car club, car-sharing, cycling and walking, bike/ebike hire scheme, underground, taxi, etc.) that operates in real-time * a single payment portal, whereby users can buy conventional travel products, 'pay as they go' or else buy a service bundle or monthly multimodal travel subscription in advance * a booking system incorporating the entire end-to-end journey stages". MaaS is the 'digital infrastructure glue' that joins all transport services and initiatives together to give one view of all transport options for residents & visitors to the area, to plan, book and pay for multimodal journeys. By offering seamless, zero emissions public & private transport integration both at an app level and operational level, together with an integrated loyalty incentive scheme, MaaS will provide a shift away from personal car ownership & single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use towards sustainable forms of travel.
