The future of mobility is MaaS and to succeed for everyone, we need a new mindset. MaaS America embodies it. MaaS America advances a vision of MaaS that reflects the American notion of mobility – one based on the principle of integration, incentive, inclusion, innovation and cooperation. One that encourages movement as opposed to one with policies that discourage it. MaaS is the path to solving funding, congestion and environmental issues – and maintaining integrated lives. It takes the public and industry as equal actors at the table to make it happen. Get your seat. Adopt the mindset. Shape and inform the next model of mobility in America.
A MaaS Model
Societal, technological and economic trends demand that we view mobility services more holistically, less stove-piped and more integrated with other modes and other aspects of our lives. A MaaS model must incentivize the private sector, be inclusive to the public and ensure transit continues to fulfill its historic role symbiotic with private providers and user's preferences. America’s mobility mindset must evolve beyond the scarcity model, where actions and policies are based on limiting how we move around. It must implement the abundance model, where ‘success’ means mutually beneficial results to all involved, where all parties appreciate the uniqueness and contributions of others and where there is opportunity for growth and development. MaaS America supports the abundance mindset and a MaaS Model that preserves the choice of modes and levels of service and advocates for solutions and policies that encourage travel, which makes for a more dynamic economy and satisfying public life. Suppress mobility? Americans want more movement.
MaaS America is a non-profit forum advocating a MaaS ecosystem that supports the American approach to mobility. Public transport interests, large enterprises, start-up ventures, government agencies and academia sit equally at the table.
