SUM Event at TRA 2026: Shared Mobility: Measuring Impact, Shaping Policy
Image by SUM project
After three years of implementation across multiple European contexts, the SUM project reaches its final stage with a focused discussion on what shared mobility actually delivers in practice, and how this translates into policy.
This session brings together cities, transport authorities, and practitioners to present concrete experiences from Living Labs, covering services such as bike-sharing, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), car sharing, demand-responsive transport (DRT), and mobility hubs. The emphasis is on measurable impacts, operational challenges, and governance implications.
The event will focus on demonstrating deployment realities. What has worked, what has not, and under which conditions shared mobility services can be effectively integrated into urban and regional transport systems.
Key topics:
- Results and lessons learned from SUM Living Labs across Europe
- Insights from the SUM Open Data Platform and its role in monitoring and evaluation
- Policy recommendations to support the uptake and scaling of new mobility services
- Integration of shared mobility into planning frameworks, including SUMPs
- Future exploitation pathways and continuity beyond the project lifecycle
- Concrete next steps for cities and regions
The discussion will contribute to shaping evidence-based policy approaches, grounded in real-world implementation rather than assumptions.
