Province of Utrecht and Autodelen.net took part in the POLIS Conference 2024 to present their advancements within the ShareDiMobiHub project.
The POLIS Conference, the premier annual event for transport innovation in European cities and regions, brought over 1,000 participants together this year in Karlsruhe, thanks to the support of the Baden-Württemberg region and the city of Karlsruhe. Among the many projects showcased, ShareDiMobiHub stood out, presenting its innovative tools and advancements in two key sessions.
Enabling shared mobility
In the session titled“Enabling Shared Mobility”, Bram Seeuws from Autodelen.net joined representatives from cities like Stuttgart, Eindhoven, and Groningen, as well as private providers such as Uber and Freenow. The discussion centred on how shared mobility can serve as an effective and inclusive transportation solution. Bram presented ShareDiMobiHub’s ongoing work in developing regulatory frameworks that support the sustainable integration of shared mobility services, emphasising the importance of policy design in driving success.
Expanding shared mobility to suburban and rural areas
Wouter Slob and Eric van Dijk, representing the lead partner Province of Utrecht, participated in another session focused on the challenges and opportunities of implementing shared mobility in suburban and rural areas. They highlighted Utrecht's pioneering efforts to unify its transport ecosystem by integrating shared mobility solutions with public transport. Their presentation showcased the action plans being developed through ShareDiMobiHub, illustrating the project’s role in creating accessible, multimodal transport systems beyond urban centres.
Engaging at the POLIS stand
Beyond the sessions, ShareDiMobiHub had a strong presence at the POLIS stand, where attendees could explore project materials and engage with POLIS colleagues. This provided a platform to discuss how the project is contributing to the European mobility landscape and supporting city and regional partners in advancing shared and digital mobility solutions.
The POLIS 2024 Conference was an excellent opportunity for ShareDiMobiHub to demonstrate its impact at the local, regional, and European levels, fostering dialogue and collaboration with key stakeholders in the transport sector.
