Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data
2020-06-03 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Brussels) | ONLINE
Data-driven innovation will bring enormous benefits for citizens in the area of mobility and it will reshape the way we produce, consume and live. ERTICO is organising a two-day virtual conference supported by its valued Partner BlackBerry to promote the discussion between the private and the public sector on needs, requirements, business bottlenecks and safety concerns in data-powered mobility.
This Virtual Conference Empowering mobility with secure and accessible data will address the issues that are underpinning the effectiveness and safety in mobility and the existing mobility schemes currently available and it will discuss the potential for clean mobility at a time when priorities for decision-makers and users might be changing. A new mobility paradigm is being created out of necessity (our urge to move vs our need to be safe) and the plans of the European Commission to proceed towards common European data spaces along with the discussion on stakeholder cooperation in data sharing has to finally yield results.
Four distinct panels will tackle these issues with distinguished speakers providing a clear direction on the new and innovative developments taking place in the mobility sector. The Virtual Conference will take place on 3 and 4 June 2020 from 14.00-16.00. There will an opportunity for participants to pose questions to the Speaker panels.

In Covid19 days, due to restrictions in our public transport capacity, demand and offer are usually unbalanced and users have some concerns about using sharing services. MaaS will help administrations to have more efficient, reliable, and safer transport in Covid19 times.
In this Mobility Talks’ episode 5, EIT Urban Mobility will invite a high-level panel of international experts and will guide a constructive discussion on the three most important challenges of MaaS:

whether a suitable governance scheme (not technology) is key for MaaS to thrive.
data as a cornerstone for any MaaS architecture for better managing mobility, addressing societal goals (sustainability, equity, accessibility) and enabling new viable business models around mobility services.
the most interesting industry developments for more integrated user experience as a real and competitive alternative to the private car.

The European MaaS model: Achieving sustainable mobility
2021-02-04 10:00 - 11:30 | ONLINE
According to the European Commission, the European transport sector has to deliver a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 whilst providing affordable, accessible, safe and clean transport solutions. Mobility as a Service – MaaS – as acknowledged by the EU Green Deal and recently published Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, can be an answer with its significant emission reduction potential and provide Europeans with all-encompassing services to meet their mobility needs.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a turning point, brought many undesired effects but has also opened up opportunities for improving our urban mobility systems and accelerating the sustainable transformations. For a better future, we will need comfortable, smart and sustainable mobility solutions, like Mobility as a Service. The progress that we have made with MaaS in Europe over the past years is very much linked to the hard work of the European legislators in removing barriers from the development of integrated multimodal services and supporting the interoperability of these solutions.
To continue this fruitful collaboration and to kick-off this eventful year, the MaaS Alliance will organise an online event with European Parliament and European Commission representatives as well as with key stakeholders from the mobility sector to discuss priorities and future steps to implement MaaS across the whole European Union. The event will be co-hosted by MEP Henna Virkkunen (EPP).
On 4 February 2021 10-11:30 when we will look at the past, present and future of MaaS and discuss the topical legislative dossiers and strategies from the MaaS point of view. Speakers include Ms Henna Virkkunen (MEP/EPP), Mr Richard Szostak (Principal Adviser for Digitalisation, DG MOVE) and Mr Jacob Bangsgaard (MaaS Alliance President / CEO of ERTICO – ITS Europe) and leading public and private organisations of the new mobility sector.
If you would like to participate, please send an email to the MaaS Alliance.
