Reimagine places: Mobility as a Service

Such a world is now the stuff of reality. Travel can be this straightforward, and the building blocks are appearing in cities such as Vienna and Helsinki. With the right technology and modal blend, it’s possible to create a travel ecosystem that significantly enhances the user experience and achieves key policy objectives, including economic growth.

Local and regional transport authorities face increasing disruption and challenge from demand-responsive private sector services, electric and autonomous vehicles, and integrated multi-modal journey planning and payment solutions.

KPMG use a MaaS Requirements Index which provides a mechanism by which transport and local authorities, operators and other mobility services providers can understand the regulatory, commercial, governance and technology operating models that will be required to deliver strategic objectives for local and regional transport.

The new paradigm is known as Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Like other aspects of the digital revolution, it uses the latest technology to empower consumers in making their own choices. At its most developed, every public and private transport option is presented in a single app, handling payment and bookings through the same platform and providing dynamic route-planning information to users.

While this paper is predominantly focused on helping transport and local authorities to determine their future MaaS strategy, KPMG believe that, through collaboration between authorities, operators and mobility service providers, the Requirements Index (which is outlined in the paper) will be a universally helpful tool.
