Mobility

MaaS, Mobility as a Service, is a different of looking at mobility. Its focus lies on choosing the fastest and most efficient way to get from point A to B, without necessarily owning the means of transport. Together with private and private partners, the City of Leuven aims to significantly expand the available supply. Wherever possible, electric cars will be preferred over fossil fuelled.

How does it work?

To triple the number of car sharing users, and to significantly increase the amount of shared bikes every year: that is the city of Leuven’s ambition. Every Leuven resident should be able to smoothly move in and around the city using shared transport. A Hoppin point will be constructed in numerous locations across the city, providing a wide range of shared cars and shared bicycles.

Why is this project important?

Work, school, hobby, shopping: the number of trips we make in a day adds up quickly. Often, we rely on private cars to get around, even for short distances. But most private cars are stationary 90% of the time. If we change our habit to using any means of transport only when we need them, instead of owning them, we will free up space, energy, time and resources. Plus, the fees and time investment connected to ownership and maintenance are outsourced to the service provider.

For this shift to become mainstream, enough shared modes of transport must be readily available, which requires expanding supply. We achieve the biggest impact when we make choosing sustainable means of transport, the easiest choice.
