In research on the new, universally networked mobility, social consequences are usually neglected. The IZT has therefore developed three scenarios from which social consequences can be derived. Digital platforms that integrate and seamlessly network old and new mobility providers are currently in vogue. Technical term: "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS). Particularly in the case of these concepts, ignoring aspects of fairness could prove to be risky, as there is a risk of enormous social consequences. In addition, all policy approaches that promise greater sustainability are increasingly being scrutinised with regard to their social justice aspects. Political strategies to promote the new mobility will also be confronted with this requirement and should therefore incorporate questions of justice at an early stage.

While the transport and spatial system, ecological and economic aspects of new mobility have already attracted some attention, there is a lack of in-depth analyses of the social consequences. This is due to the fact that the transport sciences tend to be blind to the aspects of social sustainability. In the case of new mobility and the concepts of "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS), however, this shortcoming is particularly risky, as their social consequences are likely to be enormous. In addition, every form of transformative policy approach must be considered more closely in future with regard to its social justice aspects. Conceivable policies to promote new mobility will also be confronted with this requirement and should therefore address these issues at an early stage.

The IZT analysed the current research situation on the topic and developed three scenarios to derive social consequences. Based on the results and the compilation of initial recommendations for action and design for companies, trade unions and politics, the discursive further development and anchoring in sub-publics is being worked on.
