App-Based Shared Mobility: Policy Imperatives

To promote app-based shared mobility (ASM) for sustainable urban mobility, the government should consider:

• Promoting clean vehicle technologies, multi-modality and high-occupancy rides
• Developing detailed regulatory guidelines for pooled rides and car sharing operations
• Setting up a Nodal Regulating Agency like the Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA), to integrate ASM services as part of the sustainable urban mobility
• Developing guidelines for ASM data sharing to support robust decision making in transportation planning and traffic operations
