Abstract

The question of urban mobility governance is a challenge for all cities worldwide. Economic, financial, social, and environmental issues are at the heart of ecological transition programs in many major cities globally. This new governance model concerns public transport and the management of innovative mobility, including mobility on-demand. However, the modes of management of public transport are contrasted, varying according to the geographical location of cities, citizens’ way of life, and the history of each metropolis. What remains common to all cities is an ambition and a desire to implement in their mobility systems radical innovations such as autonomous shuttles and digitalization tools such as MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service). The future of mobility is part of a robomobility approach, including autonomous vehicles. This forward-looking vision will radically challenge the relationships between users, citizens, and city governance.
