MLL focuses on the needs of peri-urban municipalities in the greater Helsinki capital region ‘Uusimaa’, and their connection to the city. New concepts, innovations, and collaboration schemes to the identified “first ten miles” challenge will be studied and trailed from versatile aspects of mobility. The last mile in the “Helsinki-segment” of the journey already has excellent PT coverage and plenty of other travel options. Hence, to facilitate a full, user-friendly connection of Helsinki region peri-urban municipalities with Helsinki city centre, the MLL will co-create and trial innovative concepts and practical schemes to enhance first/last mile green, sustainable MaaS based solutions.

Two NMS B2B business models will be developed (for a hospitality organization and a private company’s headquarters). The solution will serve the mobility needs of hotel guests and company employees. It will consist of e-bike/e-scooter stations on hotels and private company grounds. The MLL will advance GoGiro application to an integrated solution, providing hotels with accessible infrastructure of charging hubs, e-vehicle sharing, and automated tour guides, all integrated into one easy-to- use app. It will allow the city to reduce traffic and use significantly fewer gas-powered vehicles, bring value to hotels, and provide guests with a unique experience of the city using an environmentally friendly mode of transport.

The pilot site will be in Munich with a key focus on integrated mobility and parking management around Allianz Arena (FC Bayern football stadium) during sport and other major events. Munich is an attractive environment for shared mobility players due to the dense city centre and tech-oriented culture. The MLL will seek to combine a number of traffic technologies and urban mobility and planning measures in the vicinity of a major “attraction” (Allianz Arena stadium) to shift traffic from private vehicles to new shared mobility and micromobility services.

The MLL aims to foster cooperation between mobility services through building a standard for user identity roaming and for real-time service data sharing. Focus will be on the co-creation of mobility offers, customised to the diverse needs of users. The two actions will increase the shared mobility attractiveness and will enable seamless multimodal trips.

The pilot site will be in Portugal (Porto) with a key focus on integrated mobility management around Estádio do Dragão (FC Porto football stadium) during sports or other events. Shared mobility services designed to complement city PT services by integrated ticketing or payment services in public transport, ridesharing, and on / off-street parking. The case will study several scenarios of urban mobility and will integrate private vehicles, new shared mobility and micromobility services (ridesharing, bike sharing).

Turin MLL aims at meeting travellers’ individual transportation needs through a single interface providing a holistic mobility service covering urban, peri-urban, suburban, and rural areas in Turin and Piedmont region, allowing also for cross-regional/cross-border trips to/from the neighbouring geographical cities and regions through the implementation of an integrated MaaS business model scheme
