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
