How could the Graz city region improve the transport situation? Should the city initiate a digital platform that integrates and seamlessly links old and new modes of transport? This would bring together providers of rental bikes, e-scooters, car sharing, carpooling, taxis, buses and trams in one app. This service-orientated concept is known among experts as "Mobility as a Service" ("MaaS"). The IZT analysed possible application strategies in a feasibility study for the Graz area. The seamless mobility chain - across different modes of transport - ranges from integrated route planning, booking on demand and payment through to the handling of journeys. The IZT demonstrated the different forms of mobility in three pioneering cities and encouraged the city of Graz to embrace the dynamic concept of "Mobility as a Service". The scientists also discussed the necessary technological and infrastructural requirements.

IZT work packages:

  • Big picture of mobility trends
  • Mapping MaaS initiatives in Europe
  • Case analyses of selected cities with MaaS initiatives
  • Perspective workshop
  • MaaS Readiness Check
