Public Transport in the Center of Urban Mobility: An Impact Assessment Framework for New Mobility Services
摘要
In recent years, innovative mobility services have had a growing presence in cities around the world. As cities strive to navigate this dynamic landscape of novel mobility solutions, the need for robust impact assessment frameworks has become of high importance for public authorities and stakeholders. This paper aims to present an impact assessment framework developed for the evaluation of public transport-centered mobility solutions, such as multimodal hubs, establishment of low-emission zones, congestion charging schemes, implementation of bike sharing schemes, in 11 European Cities. It outlines the evaluation methods used to assess activities during the demonstrations, investigating the success of adopted measures in domains such as public transport ridership, user satisfaction, and environmental impact. Key Performance indicators (KPIs) tailored for each city are defined based on an extensive literature review and the specific needs of each city. The evaluation framework includes methods of measuring and monitoring the implementation of the measures while also providing guidelines for effective data collection and sharing. The unique value of the paper lies in its methodology for measuring and monitoring the impact of innovative mobility solutions in 11 European cities with diverse mobility status and urban setting.
