“…However, due to the nascence of the MaaS concept, we do not know if these activities will be sufficient for catalyzing concrete MaaS developments yet. Moreover, scholarly research on what the public sector can do to support the development of MaaS that contribute to policy objectives (e.g., Jittrapirom et al, 2018;Li and Voege, 2017;Smith et al, 2019a) have thus far not been compiled into easy-to-use formats for analysis. Accordingly, the emerging body of literature on MaaS offers limited guidance for policymakers.…”

Towards a framework for Mobility-as-a-Service policies

Public authorities are increasingly pursuing activities to pave the way for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). The range of activities includes regulation reforms, technology developments and investments in trials. Despite progress, concrete MaaS developments are still limited. Thus, it remains uncertain how effective the current MaaS policies will be in terms of facilitating the development and diffusion of MaaS that generate public value. Drawing on collaborative innovation and sustainability transition literature, this paper aims to provide a basis for analyzing MaaS policies by introducing a framework that identifies aspects that such policies should address. An empirical analysis of Transport for New South Wales's MaaS policy program is utilized to illustrate how the framework can be applied. The contribution to the transport literature is twofold. First, the paper refines the conceptual understanding of what MaaS is, and why it differs from the present state of affairs. Second, it advances the knowledge of how the public sector can facilitate its development and diffusion.

“…Although the current practise enables the local authority to alter its plan when required, embedding adaptation as part of the process can bring about benefits, such as increased likelihood to implement the plan successfully. Planning schemes such as the Dynamic Adaptive Policymaking (DAP) scheme enables policymakers to deal with uncertainties surrounding the policy formulation process (Jittrapirom et al, 2018;Walker, Rahman, & Cave, 2001). Also, as it is built on the principle that complete information about a system is unattainable, DAP helps to move away from trend-based predictions.…”

“…Instead, it focuses on utilising available information in making a robust policy that is capable of dealing with uncertain vulnerabilities while at the same time taking advantage of any arising beneficial effects. Moreover, the built-in monitoring process of DAP can contribute towards the efforts made to monitor the implementation of the plan (See (Jittrapirom et al, 2018) for DAP application).…”

Formulating a transport master plan for a regional city in a developing country can be a challenging task. Regional cities are often lacking financial resources or have limited expertise in the field of transport. Consequently, they are more likely to experience transport problems as they undergo expansion. The tradition of transport planning for regional cities in Thailand began as recently as 1994 with the master plan for Chiang Mai city. Since then, there has been a broad implementation of transport planning across the country, driven by the Office of Traffic and Transport Policy and Planning (OTP). As a result, most Thai cities now have a transport master plan. In this paper, we describe Thailand's process in formulating and implementing its master plans across the regional cities. We provide three case studies to illustrate the process in practice. The study reveals some lessons learned that could be useful to identify critical planning and governance mechanisms for other developing countries, especially those in the same region, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar.

“…Although not usually classified as "paratransit", they allow for multiple passengers to utilise a vehicle as it traverses a route between some O-D pair, just like a transit vehicle. Many practitioners in developed countries are incorporating rideshare modes under the umbrella Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in travel behaviour analysis [12][13][14][15][16]. Interestingly, this concept of ridesharing as a significant travel service option has long been applied in SIDS and developing countries due to the absence of reliable public transportation services.…”

The objective of this research was to develop a mode choice model in a small island developing states (SIDS), specifically the island of Trinidad. The public transportation system of Trinidad is dominated by paratransit modes, which have developed out of necessity due to the inadequacy of the state-owned bus service. Most modal choice models, calibrated from data in developed countries, do not consider the impacts of such para-transit modes in the choice behaviour of commuters. This research develops a discrete mode choice model based on the revealed preferences of commuters and their subjective assessment of the characteristics of the modes. The results from a nested logit model showed that invehicle travel time was a significant factor for the sample, while travel cost, was unimportant in the travellers' mode choice. Large mode-specific constants were estimated in the utility equation when compared to the other variables. This indicated a bias by individuals toward specific modes. This can be due to the current status of the public transportation system. Results highlighted that travellers, consider the illegal "PH" Taxis share more similarities to the private vehicle than to other public transportation modes. This is a significant result that can dictate the development of future policies. This research has shown the importance of incorporating paratransit modes in the mode choice models of SIDS. Future work should consider integrating latent class variables in the model analysis.
