The TravelSpirit Foundation is an International Organisation for Open MaaS and Climate Neutral Transport Solutions. It was founded to serve a global community of software developers, transport operators, digital businesses, planners and policymakers with a common interest in a mobility that is inclusive, integrated and sustainable. We act through research, advocacy and ecosystem development. Our mission is to realise both the pro-social and economic potential of Mobility as a Service (MaaS); through open source technology, collaborative commercial partnerships and trusted data; becoming the trusted business-to-business (B2B) platform for collaboration on mobility solutions that is a global public resource, open & accessible to all. Our CIC status provides us the freedom to trade as we like, while all of our assets are locked-in for the public good – so you can trust us to be always and forever acting for the community. We provide community-anchored governance models, asset locked fiduciary sponsorship and administrative services, and can hold Intellectual Property linked to affiliated open source projects.
