App-Based Shared Mobility:Policy Imperatives

Policy imperatives to promote app-based shared mobility (ASM) for sustainable urban mobility

To promote app-based shared mobility (ASM) for sustainable urban mobility, the government should consider:

Promoting clean vehicle technologies, multi-modality and high-occupancy rides
Developing detailed regulatory guidelines for pooled rides and car sharing operations
Setting up a Nodal Regulating Agency like the Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA), to integrate ASM services as part of the sustainable urban mobility
Developing guidelines for ASM data sharing to support robust decision making in transportation planning and traffic operations
