Webinar: Tendering Shared Mobility Services

Public authorities play a pivotal role in shaping these services through governance tools such as operational permits, tendering processes, and public service contracts. These instruments enable local and regional governments to align shared mobility initiatives with broader societal goals, including reducing emissions, promoting equitable access to transport, and fostering innovation.

This webinar will explore how policy instruments can direct shared mobility deployments while reinforcing public values.

Policy is one of the most critical tools available to governments in shaping transport futures. Transport policy profoundly impacts daily life, and policymakers must navigate a dynamic landscape in the context of shared mobility. Governments are increasingly acting within broader governance networks rather than as sole decision-makers, collaborating to integrate private-sector initiatives into public strategies. This shift underscores the need for regulatory approaches that manage complexity while advancing overarching societal goals.

Participants will gain insights into key policy mechanisms, including operational permits, tenders, concessions, public service contracts, and subsidies. The session will examine how these tools can:
1.    Define and achieve political and societal objectives through structured governance.
2.    Reduce unnecessary travel demand while encouraging shifts to efficient transport modes.
3.    Develop evaluation frameworks that align private-sector initiatives with public priorities.
4.    Establish systems that address key public goals, including improved accessibility, reduced congestion, and enhanced environmental quality.
