This session addresses the challenge and opportunity of integrating new and shared mobility services into urban and peri-urban areas to support the ambitious objectives of the Green Deal and the Smart & Sustainable Mobility Strategy. European cities and regions are aiming to reduce the reliance on private cars in their mobility ecosystems, and the session explores the need for high-quality, sustainable alternatives that complement mass transit and cater to diverse citizen needs. The emergence of new mobility services such as shared micromobility, carsharing, and ride-hailing presents opportunities, but effective governance frameworks and intermodal solutions are crucial to maximize benefits and address potential negative impacts. The discussion focuses on deploying innovative business models and public-private partnerships to extend the reach of these services to suburban areas, where car dependence is higher. Attendees can expect insights into the current and potential roles of new mobility services in sustainable urban and peri-urban mobility, emphasizing the importance of governance models, integration with public transport, and collaborative approaches for financial viability and public policy outcomes. The take-away messages include the key framework conditions necessary for new mobility services to positively contribute to sustainable urban and peri-urban mobility.
