This Special Interest Group focuses on improving adoption of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) by putting users and wider stakeholders at the centre of delivery. It explores what drives decision-making and what “success” looks like for different groups, helping members design, communicate and implement MaaS solutions that people will actually use.
