Longer study description
Solent Transport continues to make rapid progress with its Future Transport Zone (FTZ) programme for the Solent region, most recently awarding a £2.4m contract for the development of a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution. The new MaaS product will make it easier to access transport services in the Solent region, (pop.1.3M) which includes Portsmouth, Southampton, South Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The successful consortium, led by Trafi in partnership with Unicard and the Behavioural Insights Team, has already started work on developing the app which will make travel in the Solent region easier, more accessible, more efficient and more customer focused. The first version of the product will be launched before the end of the year.
MaaS provides journey planning and payment across every mode of transport in a convenient and compelling way. By integrating the various modes of transport in the region into the app, as well as the systems behind them, Solent Transport hopes to maximise the positive impact of more sustainable travel choices on outcomes such as car dependency, access to employment opportunities and emissions.
